A deeply personal reflection on leaving Patna, living in bigger cities, and realizing that no place can replace the comfort of home.
October to March is the most comfortable stretch for sightseeing, walking, museums, and riverfront time. Summer afternoons need slower plans and more indoor breaks.
Start with Bihar Museum for context, then add Golghar, Patna Sahib, Buddha Smriti Park, Kumhrar, and a Ganga-side evening depending on your pace.
January is generally mild, while May is usually the hottest month and can reach the high-30s Celsius. Check the live weather widget before fixing outdoor plans.
