Pimpri-Chinchwad Weather in March

March: warm days, easier evenings

March feels like the start of the hot season in Pimpri-Chinchwad. Afternoons reach 36°C, while evenings cool to around 18°C. Rain is scarce, and sunshine is strong, so outdoor sightseeing is more comfortable later in the day. The heat is already a step up from February and builds further in April.

The Bhakti-Shakti garden in Nigdi works well for a relaxed evening visit. Save longer walks or open-air outings for cooler hours, and avoid spending the hottest part of the day in exposed spaces. The Morya Gosavi temple in Chinchwad is another good stop, with a calmer indoor visit.

Holi and Gudi Padwa

Holi often falls in March, though its date changes each year. You may see local celebrations, colour and busy streets around the festival. Gudi Padwa, the Marathi New Year, can also fall in March; look for decorated gudis, or flags, outside homes and shops.

Travelling with kids? A visit to Appu Ghar in Nigdi can suit a family day, but the rides are mostly outdoors, so the afternoon heat may feel tiring.

Quieter than winter

November to January is the best-known season for a visit, so March is generally less busy. You're also past the winter travel peak, which can make hotel demand and prices easier than in those months. Holi or Gudi Padwa can bring local crowds for a short spell, especially near temples and market streets.

For a practical local stop, try a thalipeeth, a savoury flatbread, at a Maharashtrian eatery in Chinchwad. Pair it with a visit to the Morya Gosavi temple, then keep the rest of your plans nearby rather than crossing town in the afternoon heat.
