💡 Travel Tips
💰 Book Ayurvedic treatments directly at smaller clinics and government-recognized centers instead of resort spas to save 40-50% while getting authentic treatments from experienced practitioners
📅 October to March is ideal, offering pleasant weather (20-28°C) and minimal rainfall, perfect for outdoor activities and Ayurvedic treatments. Avoid monsoon season (June-September) when heavy rains limit outdoor exploration, though some travelers prefer this period for authentic Ayurvedic therapies.
