What to pack
For October-November or February, pack light cotton clothing for daytime and a light jacket or sweater for evenings. Comfortable walking shoes are essential for exploring. Sunglasses and sunscreen are recommended. During Durga Puja, dress modestly when visiting pandals. An umbrella or raincoat is useful if there is unexpected rainfall. Remember to carry insect repellent, especially during and after the monsoon season.
Saving money

Consider staying in areas like Benachity or City Center for budget-friendly accommodations. Eating at local restaurants and street food stalls will also save money.
