💡 Travel Tips
💰 Stay in budget guesthouses in the village (₹500-1000/night) instead of nearby Bangalore hotels, and eat at local dhabas where meals cost ₹80-150, saving 70% on accommodation and food costs.
📅 October to February is ideal for visiting Lepakshi when temperatures are cool (15-25°C) and the weather is perfect for exploring temples and village walks. Avoid May to September due to intense heat and monsoon rains that can disrupt travel plans.
🛂 Indian passport holders do not require a visa as Lepakshi is located within India in Andhra Pradesh. Simply carry your valid Indian ID proof like Aadhaar, PAN, or passport for domestic travel.
