Pro Tip: Peak vs Off-Peak

Peak Season (Oct-Mar): Pleasant weather but massive crowds at all major sites. Book everything in advance.

Shoulder Season (Apr-May, Sep): Best balance - decent weather, moderate crowds, better prices.

Off-Peak (Jun-Aug): Monsoon means empty attractions (except hill stations). Kerala backwaters are magical in rain!
