Hot summers (April–June) with temperatures often exceeding 40°C; monsoon (July–September) brings heavy rainfall; winters (December–February) are mild and comfortable.

Entry to the ashram grounds is generally free; the museum may have a nominal entrance fee or request for donation. Typical visiting hours are during daytime (morning to late afternoon), but exact opening hours and any ticket fees change occasionally — check the official Sabarmati Ashram website or contact the museum before your visit for current timings and charges.
