💡 Travel Tips
💰 Visit during weekdays instead of weekends and festivals to avoid crowds, find cheaper accommodation rates, and enjoy shorter queues at the temple - saving up to 30% on lodging costs
📅 October to February offers the most pleasant weather with cool temperatures (15-25°C) and clear skies, making temple visits and hill treks comfortable. Avoid May-June due to extreme heat and September due to monsoon rains that make the 660 steps slippery and challenging.
