When to go:
Narra can be visited throughout the year, as it offers unique experiences in every season.
The best time to hike Mount Victoria and visit Estrella Falls is during the dry season, which runs from December to early June. During this time, the weather is cooler and drier, making it perfect for outdoor activities.
On the other hand, the wet season, which occurs from June to October, is characterized by hot and humid weather with frequent short bursts of heavy rainfall, and a prevailing wind from the west. While this may not be ideal for hiking or outdoor activities, it is the perfect time to witness the lush greenery and blooming flowers that Narra has to offer.
