💡 Travel Tips
💰 Visit during shoulder season (September-October or March-April) when accommodation prices drop by 30-40% compared to peak season, and local restaurants offer authentic meals for ₹150-300 per person.
📅 October to March is ideal when the weather is cool and pleasant, with temperatures ranging from 15-28°C, and the migratory bird season brings thousands of feathered visitors to the region. Avoid monsoon season (June-September) when heavy rainfall makes travel challenging, and summer months (April-May) when temperatures soar above 35°C.
🛂 Indian passport holders do not require any visa for domestic travel within India. Shahganj is located in West Bengal, so simply carry a valid ID proof like Aadhaar, PAN card, or passport for local travel.
