Insider timing tips

•The monsoon season (July-August) brings heavy rains that can disrupt travel and limit outdoor activities, making it the least desirable time to visit.
•While November and December offer ideal weather, they also represent peak tourist season, leading to higher prices and crowded attractions. Shoulder months like October and February provide a good balance.
•The pre-monsoon months of April and May are extremely hot, but offer significantly lower prices and fewer crowds, making them suitable for budget travelers who can tolerate high temperatures.
•Local festivals like Holi and Diwali can be incredibly vibrant but also lead to temporary closures of some businesses and transport disruptions; check dates carefully.
