💡 Travel Tips

📅 October to March is ideal for visiting Thanjavur when the weather is cool and dry, making temple exploration comfortable. Avoid May to September due to intense heat and monsoon rains that can disrupt sightseeing.
🛂 Indian passport holders do not require a visa to visit Thanjavur as it is located within India. Simply carry a valid ID proof like Aadhaar, PAN, or passport for domestic travel.
