💡 Travel Tips
💰 Visit during October-November instead of peak monsoon (June-September) to save 30-40% on accommodation rates while still enjoying flowing waterfalls and pleasant weather.
📅 June to September is peak monsoon season when all nine waterfalls are in full flow, creating the most spectacular views and pleasant weather. October to November offers post-monsoon freshness with flowing waterfalls and fewer crowds, making it ideal for trekking and photography.
