Visitor Information
Old City note: Lanes are narrow; cars may not reach every hotel gate. Expect short walks with luggage.
Lake view hotels: Confirm what “lake view” means (partial vs full view) before booking.
Peak season: October–March fills quickly; book early if traveling on weekends or festival dates.
Transport: Autos are common; cabs are best for day trips and early morning departures.
Best Time to Visit
If you want the best stay experience, plan travel between October and March. For summer visits, prioritize hotels with strong AC and good ventilation. In monsoon, lakeside stays can feel beautiful, but keep a flexible schedule for rain.
