The best time to visit Gujarat is October to March.

You can visit the place any other time too, if heat and monsoon is not much of a matter. The Kutch festival is in the winter season in January.

The Winter is from November to February where the temp hovers at (12 - 29 Celsius). Summer is from March to May (29 - 41 Celsius). The Tropic of Cancer passes through the northern border of the state, the main reason why areas of Gujarat are either very hot or cold.
