Best Time to Visit

This hill retreat can be visited all year through since the climate remains cool. While monsoons make the region damp, the continuous showers also enhance its appeal, since during the rains the hills are covered in green and several seasonal waterfalls come up.

Clothing

Since the climate is pleasant throughout the year, loose cotton attire is preferable. During winters light woolens are sufficient. If traveling in the rains, carry adequate raingears. Also, if you wish to indulge in trekking, carry proper clothing and shoes.
