💡 Travel Tips
💰 Stay in family-run plantation homestays (₹800-1500/night) instead of hotels - they offer authentic experiences, home-cooked meals, and direct plantation access while saving 40-50% on accommodation costs
📅 October to March offers the best weather with pleasant temperatures between 15-25°C, perfect for trekking and plantation tours. Avoid May-September monsoon season when heavy rains make hill roads slippery, though the landscape turns lush green during this period.
🛂 Indian citizens require no visa or travel documents to visit Theni as it's a domestic destination within Tamil Nadu state. Simply carry a valid ID proof like Aadhaar, PAN card, or passport.
