💡 Travel Tips
💰 Stay in family-run guesthouses rather than hotels to save 60-70% on accommodation while gaining authentic local experiences and meals costing ₹200-400 per night
📅 November to February offers the most comfortable climate with cooler temperatures (20-28°C) and minimal rainfall, perfect for exploring markets and historical sites. Avoid May to September when monsoon rains and extreme heat (40°C+) make travel challenging.
🛂 Indian passport holders require a Schengen or Mali visa obtained from the Mali Embassy in New Delhi or through French consulates. Plan visa applications 4-6 weeks in advance as processing can be lengthy.
