💡 Travel Tips
💰 Visit during shoulder season (March-May or September) for 20-30% cheaper accommodation and houseboat rates while still enjoying pleasant weather
📅 October to February is ideal when the weather is cool and dry, with temperatures between 20-30°C, perfect for backwater cruises and plantation visits. Avoid monsoon season (June-September) when heavy rains can disrupt outdoor activities, though the landscape becomes lush and green.
