💡 Travel Tips
💰 Buy directly from pottery workshops and kilns instead of tourist shops to save 40-50% on hand-painted ceramics, tiles, and decorative pieces - bargaining is expected and welcomed
📅 October to March is ideal as the weather is cool and pleasant, perfect for exploring the pottery workshops and outdoor markets without the intense heat. Avoid May to September due to extreme heat and monsoon rains that disrupt pottery production and kiln operations.
