For 2026, pack layers and waterproof gear—this isn't a beach month, but it's perfect for temple visits, cooking classes, and jungle treks if you don't mind wet conditions. Book accommodations early as many mid-range hotels offer excellent June discounts. Avoid outdoor activities between 2-5pm when rain peaks.
