Making it cheaper
- Going in April instead of November saves about ₹2,000 for two, and it is still a good time to go.
- Avoid Christmas–New Year week if you can: the same trip costs about ₹3,000 more than in November, because hotels charge far more that week.
- Taking the train instead of flying saves about ₹18,500 for two — 17 hours each way by train, 5 by air.
- June costs about ₹3,500 less than November, but it is the off season there: monsoon — rough sea and many shacks shut.
