Useful Tips

If you have more time, add a day trip to Alappuzha Backwaters in Kerala or visit the Taj Mahal in Agra. If you have less time, skip the beaches in Pondicherry and Goa. Avoid traveling during monsoon season (July-August) and pack light for the high altitude in Leh. Don't forget to try traditional Ladakhi cuisine like Thukpa and Momos!
