💡 Travel Tips
💰 Stay in local homestays or small guesthouses (₹1,500-2,500/night) instead of resorts - you'll get authentic experiences, home-cooked meals, and support local families while saving 40-50% on accommodation costs
📅 October to February is ideal for visiting Kumta, when the monsoon rains have cleared and the weather is cool and pleasant (20-28°C). Avoid June-September due to heavy monsoons, though the landscape turns lush green during this season.
🛂 Indian passport holders do not require any visa as Kumta is located within India in Karnataka state. Simply carry your valid Indian ID proof like Aadhaar or PAN card.
