💡 Travel Tips
💰 Stay in budget hotels near the old city market area (₹800-1200/night) instead of Bangalore hotels, and use local auto-rickshaws (₹20-50 per ride) for transport to save 40% on accommodation and travel costs.
📅 October to February is ideal when temperatures range from 15-28°C, making temple visits and outdoor exploration comfortable. Avoid May-June when heat peaks at 35°C+ and monsoons from July-September can disrupt travel plans.
🛂 Indian passport holders don't require any visa for domestic travel within India. Simply carry a valid ID like Aadhar card or passport for local identification.
