📅 October to March is ideal for visiting Kannauj when the weather is cool and pleasant, with temperatures ranging from 15-25°C. Avoid the monsoon season (July-September) and peak summer (April-June) when humidity and heat make exploring the perfume workshops uncomfortable.
🛂 Indian passport holders do not require a visa to visit Kannauj as it is located within India. A valid Indian ID like Aadhaar or PAN card is sufficient for domestic travel.
