💡 Travel Tips
💰 Stay in budget ashram accommodations or homestays near the temple for ₹300-600 per night instead of hotels, and eat at local temple canteens where meals cost ₹50-100 - this cuts accommodation and food costs by 60-70%
📅 October to February offers the most pleasant climate with cool mornings and mild temperatures, perfect for temple visits and mountain treks. Avoid May to September due to intense heat and monsoons, which make outdoor activities uncomfortable.
