2. Shoulder Seasons (April and October): These months are also good times to visit, as there’s a mix of sunny and rainy days, and fewer tourists compared to the peak dry season.

3. Rainy Season (November to March): Though visiting is still possible, heavy rain can make the trail muddy and challenging. Clouds might also obstruct views of the surrounding mountains and the beautiful lagoon.

For the best experience, aim to go during the dry season, ideally in the morning when the lagoon and surrounding landscapes are most vibrant under the early light.
