💡 Travel Tips
💰 Visit during October-November shoulder season to get 20-30% cheaper hotel rates than December-January peak season while enjoying perfect weather
📅 October to March is ideal, with October-November offering pleasant weather and fewer crowds, while December-January brings cooler temperatures perfect for families. Avoid May-June monsoons and July-September heavy rains, though monsoon trekking attracts adventure enthusiasts.
