    Things to Look Out For

    field notes
    1

    India is not one country, climate-wise

    Rajasthan in February reads dry-cold; Kerala in February reads humid-warm; Sikkim in February might be under snow. Pack for the specific itinerary, not 'India in general'. Tibro's per-state tours are tuned to one climate at a time. Don't try to chain three of them back-to-back.

    2

    Tipping is structured, not arbitrary

    Driver tips at ₹500-1000 per day, guide tips at ₹500-1000 per half-day, hotel housekeeping ₹100 per day, restaurant 10% on top of any service charge already listed. Hand the driver/guide an envelope on the last day rather than tipping daily. It is more dignified for them.

    3

    Tap water and ice are a real consideration

    Every Tibro-tier hotel provides sealed bottled water in the room daily. Use it for brushing your teeth too. At restaurants, ask for "sealed bottled water" specifically. Some places will pour from a filtered jug, which is fine in some kitchens and not in others. Ice is the hidden trap; ask for "no ice" with cold drinks unless the hotel makes its own.

    Plan Your Timing

    When to Go

    India has three windows for travel. October–March is the cool/dry season. The headline window, when most of the subcontinent is at its most welcoming. April–June is hot and increasingly dangerous in the north plains. July–September is the southwest monsoon. Beautiful for Kerala Ayurveda lovers, hard for sightseeing. This Kerala tour sits squarely in the post-monsoon clear window.

    Kerala has two monsoons (southwest Jun–Aug heavy; northeast Oct–Nov a brief secondary). The Winters 25-26 departure window avoids both. Ayurveda treatments traditionally peak with the monsoon, but the tour itinerary itself works best in dry season.

    Your Memoir

    Here's how you'll remember it.

    Lake Pichola — Udaipur, India

    Day 2. Lake Pichola, the third boat back

    Day2
    ✦ Memoir

    The City Palace tour ran longer than I planned and we missed the early ferry. The third boat back to Jagmandir went at dusk. Silver lake, the white palace catching the last light, two herons sharing a balustrade. The boatman cut the engine for the last hundred metres.

    Udaipur01
    Mehrangarh — Jodhpur, India

    Day 4. Mehrangarh from the inside out

    Day4
    ✦ Memoir

    The fort looks bigger from the ramparts than from below. The guide pointed at the small handprints near the gate. Wives of the maharaja, before sati was outlawed. We sat with cardamom tea on the parapet afterwards, the blue town spread out below, and didn't talk much.

    Jodhpur02
    Sam dunes — Jaisalmer, India

    Day 5. Sam dunes, the wind dropped at six

    Day5
    ✦ Memoir

    The camel walked one slope and the driver pointed and stopped. The wind that had been throwing sand at us all afternoon just stopped. The sun fell into the ridge in about four minutes, and a child on a parallel dune shouted something in Marwari at his goat.

    Jaisalmer03
    Hawa Mahal — Jaipur, India

    Day 8. Hawa Mahal, Sunday morning coffee

    Day8
    ✦ Memoir

    The café across from Hawa Mahal opens at seven and the Sunday crowd hadn't shown up. We had filter coffee and ghevar at a window seat while the sun climbed the latticework. By eight the bagh photographers had arrived and we left.
