This period also coincides with the hosting of cultural festivals, making it the perfect time for experiencing the vibrant local traditions.

However, the wet season, generally between March and October, offers its own unique charms. The landscape bursts into lush greens and the country sees fewer tourists, making it an ideal time for those seeking a more tranquil experience.
