💡 Travel Tips
💰 Stay in locally-run guesthouses and eat at street food stalls rather than tourist restaurants; a comfortable day costs ₹1,500-2,500 including meals and activities.
📅 November to February offers the most comfortable weather with cooler temperatures (20-30°C) and minimal rainfall, making exploration pleasant. March to May brings increasing heat, while June to October is the rainy season when travel becomes challenging due to poor road conditions.
🛂 Indian passport holders require a Malian visa obtained from the Mali Embassy in New Delhi or through visa agents; e-visa options are limited, so apply 4-6 weeks in advance. Most travelers receive 30-90 day tourist visas upon proper documentation.
