💡 Travel Tips
💰 Stay in government guesthouses or budget hotels in Dumka town (₹800-1500 per night) instead of resort chains, and eat at local dhaba restaurants where meals cost ₹150-300 per person
📅 October to March is ideal for visiting Dumka when temperatures range from 15-28°C and skies are clear for exploring waterfalls and temples. Avoid monsoon season (June-September) when heavy rainfall can make roads slippery and restrict outdoor activities.
🛂 Indian passport holders do not require any visa as Dumka is located within India. Simply carry a valid government-issued ID like Aadhar card or passport for domestic travel.
