💡 Travel Tips
💰 Book Ayurvedic treatments during off-season (May-September) when wellness centers offer 30-40% discounts compared to peak season rates, and stay in homestays rather than luxury resorts to save 50% on accommodation.
📅 October to March offers the most pleasant weather with cool mornings and dry conditions ideal for Ayurvedic treatments and outdoor exploration. Avoid May-August monsoons when heavy rainfall can disrupt wellness programs, though some travelers prefer monsoon Ayurveda treatments for enhanced therapeutic benefits.
