💡 Travel Tips
💰 Shop directly from perfume manufacturers in Jajmau and Old City markets instead of retail stores to get attars at 40-50% cheaper rates, with options to buy in bulk for even greater discounts.
📅 October to March is ideal for visiting Kannauj, as the weather remains cool and pleasant, perfect for exploring the perfume markets and tanneries without the intense summer heat. Avoid May-June when temperatures soar above 40°C, making outdoor exploration uncomfortable.
🛂 Indian passport holders do not require a visa to visit Kannauj as it is a domestic destination within India. Simply carry a valid Indian ID proof like Aadhaar, PAN, or passport.
