💡 Travel Tips
💰 Stay in guesthouses near the old city (around the temple) rather than fancy hotels - you'll save 40-50% on accommodation while being closer to authentic experiences and street food stalls.
📅 October to February offers the most pleasant weather with temperatures between 20-30°C, perfect for exploring temples and markets without the intense heat. Avoid May-June when temperatures soar above 40°C and the humidity becomes unbearable for outdoor sightseeing.
🛂 Indian passport holders do not require a visa to travel within India. Simply book your train ticket and carry your valid ID proof like Aadhaar or passport for station entry.
