💡 Travel Tips
💰 Stay in budget guesthouses near the fort area (₹800-1500/night) instead of city hotels, and visit the fort early morning (6-7 AM) when entry is cheapest and crowds are minimal - you'll save ₹100-200 per person on entry fees.
📅 October to February is ideal when temperatures range from 15-28°C, making fort exploration comfortable and pleasant. Avoid May-June when temperatures soar above 38°C and July-September brings heavy monsoon rains that can make fort pathways slippery.
