Deoghar is a year-round destination, but the busiest period is Shravan (usually July-August) during Shravani Mela and Kanwar Yatra, when lakhs of devotees arrive - expect crowds, but also the most vibrant atmosphere.

Comfortable walking shoes (there's a lot of walking and queueing), light cotton clothing (Deoghar gets warm, especially April-August), a light shawl or jacket for winter mornings (December-January), a water bottle, and any personal medication - queues during peak season can be long.
