Important Travel Tips

  1. SDF Policy: The current reduced SDF ($100 for internationals / ₹1,200 for Indians) is scheduled to remain in place until August 31, 2027.

     

  2. Guided Tours: All international tourists (except Indians, Bangladeshis, and Maldivians) are required to book through a licensed tour operator. For Indians, a guide is mandatory for sightseeing but not for the entire stay.

  3. Currency: Indian Rupees (INR) are widely accepted in denominations of ₹100 and ₹500. Avoid ₹2,000 notes as they are often not accepted.

     

  4. Best Time: Aim for March–May (Spring) or September–November (Autumn) for the best weather and clear views.
