What to pack
For a visit during October-November, pack light cotton clothes for the daytime and light woollens for the evenings. Comfortable walking shoes are essential for exploring the town and temples. Sunglasses and sunscreen are important for sun protection. If visiting temples, ensure you have modest clothing that covers your shoulders and knees. A shawl or scarf can be useful for this purpose. Remember to carry insect repellent, especially if you plan to visit during or after the monsoon.
Saving money
