Before You Go
Essential Travel Tips
Transport: Auto-rickshaws are the primary mode of local transport. Always agree on the fare before starting your journey, as meters are rarely used.
Currency: Use Indian Rupees (INR). Carry smaller notes (₹10, ₹20, ₹50, ₹100) for market purchases, auto-rickshaws, and street food, as vendors may not have change for large notes.
Language: Hindi is widely spoken. Learning a few basic phrases like 'Namaste' (hello), 'Dhanyavad' (thank you), and 'Kitna hua?' (how much?) is appreciated.
Safety: Kundli is generally safe, but as in any place, be mindful of your belongings in crowded areas like markets.
Dress Code: Dress modestly, especially when visiting temples. Covering shoulders and knees is respectful.
Food Safety: Eat at busy dhabas and stalls where high turnover ensures freshness. Drink only bottled or purified water.
Bargaining: Expected in markets for non-food items. Start at about half the asking price and negotiate politely.
Connectivity: Mobile networks (Jio, Airtel) work well. Consider purchasing a local SIM if staying longer, though it requires documentation.
When to Go
Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit Kundli is during the cooler, drier months from October to March. During this period, daytime temperatures are pleasant (around 15-25°C or 59-77°F), making exploration comfortable. The winter months see clear skies and minimal rainfall. Avoid the intense summer heat from April to June, when temperatures can soar above 40°C (104°F), and the monsoon season from July to September, which brings high humidity and heavy rains that can disrupt travel.
Local Insights & Tips
