    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.

    Gadisar Lake — Jaisalmer, India

    Day 1. Gadisar Lake, the first ghat

    Day1
    ✦ Memoir

    We landed late afternoon and walked to Gadisar before sunset. The lake is small, surrounded by ghats and small Jain temples, and there were a few kids feeding the fish. A man in a starched white kurta was reciting verses to no one in particular. The fort was already glowing gold above us.

    Jaisalmer01
    Patwon Haveli — Jaisalmer, India

    Day 2. Patwon-ki-Haveli, jali on the floor

    Day2
    ✦ Memoir

    The merchant havelis have jali screens that turn the noon sun into lacework on the floor. Patwon's custodian told us five brothers built it over fifty years, each outdoing the others. He pointed out their initials in the carvings, like an old family argument in stone.

    Jaisalmer02
    Sam dunes — Sam Dunes, India

    Day 3. Sam dunes, the wind dropped at six

    Day3
    ✦ Memoir

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

    Sam Dunes03
    Sam Dunes, India

    Day 3. The camp at midnight, no moon

    Day3
    ✦ Memoir

    The desert camp gets quiet after the kalbeliya dancers leave. We stepped out of the tent around midnight and the sky was the cleanest I've seen. No moon, no city, the Milky Way like a thrown handful of salt. The bearer brought blankets and didn't ask.
