Kerala Kalamandalam

Thrissur, Kerala

A premier university for Indian performing arts, offering a unique glimpse into the training of Kathakali, Mohiniyattam, and other traditional art forms.

The best time to visit is from September to February when the weather in Kerala is pleasant and cool, making it comfortable to walk around the campus. Since most activities are indoors, a visit during the monsoon (June to August) can also be a good experience, with lush green surroundings. The summer months from March to May can be quite hot and humid. A visit during the annual festival period (check calendar) can offer opportunities to see full-fledged performances.

2-3 hours

Champa Gali

Delhi, Delhi

An urban lane in Saket known for its independent cafes, design studios, art spaces, and charming, rustic ambiance lit by fairy lights in the evening.

The best months to visit are from October to March, when Delhi's weather is cool and pleasant for sitting outdoors. Evenings are the ideal time of day to experience the lane's signature ambiance with all the lights on. Avoid the peak summer months of May and June due to extreme heat. The monsoon season (July to September) can be manageable, but heavy rain might interrupt your plans.

2-3 hours

South Indian Food Trail

Bangalore, Karnataka

Explore Bangalore's legendary eateries on a trail dedicated to authentic dosas, idlis, filter coffee, and traditional South Indian snacks.

The best months to explore this trail are from October to February when Bangalore's weather is cool and pleasant for walking around. The experience is available year-round, but summers (March to May) can be hot. Mornings (7 AM - 10 AM) are ideal for classic breakfast items, while evenings (6 PM onwards) are perfect for street food and snacks. Avoid monsoon months (June to September) if you dislike walking in the rain.

Half day (3-4 hours)

Kala Ghoda

Mumbai, Maharashtra

South Mumbai's art and culture hub, known for its galleries, heritage buildings, designer cafes, and the famous annual arts festival.

The best time to visit is from October to March, when the weather is cool and dry, making it ideal for walking. The absolute peak time is the first half of February, which is when the nine-day Kala Ghoda Arts Festival takes place. Summers (April to June) are very hot and humid, while the monsoon season (June to September) brings heavy rains that can make exploring difficult.

2-3 hours

The Parishath is an indoor attraction, making it suitable for visits throughout the year. The best months for pleasant weather in Bangalore are from October to February. For a unique experience, plan your visit during the annual Chitra Santhe, which typically happens on the first Sunday of January. To avoid the heat, steer clear of the summer months from March to May. Weekdays are generally less crowded than weekends.

1-2 hours

Shilpgram

Udaipur, Rajasthan

A living museum of rural arts and crafts near Udaipur, showcasing traditional huts, artisans, and folk performances from western India.

The best time to visit Shilpgram is from October to March when the weather in Udaipur is pleasant and cool, with temperatures between 15°C and 30°C. December is particularly special because of the 10-day Shilpgram Utsav, which features a massive gathering of artisans and performers. Summers, from April to June, are very hot and not ideal for exploring the open-air complex. The monsoon season from July to September is pleasant but outdoor activities might be affected by rain.

The absolute best experience is during the annual Shilpgram Utsav, a 10-day festival held in the last week of December. During this time, the center is filled with hundreds of artisans, musicians, and dancers from across India. Avoid the summer months of April to June due to intense heat, which makes walking around the open-air complex uncomfortable.

2-3 hours

Old Manali

Manali, Himachal Pradesh

A laid-back neighborhood across the Manalsu River, known for its bohemian cafes, guesthouses, winding lanes, and the historic Manu Temple.

The best time to visit is from March to June for pleasant spring and summer weather. Another ideal period is from September to November, when the monsoon has passed, leaving clear skies and lush greenery. Avoid the peak monsoon months of July and August due to the risk of landslides. For those who enjoy snow and cold weather, December to February is suitable, though many establishments may have limited operations.

Half day (3-4 hours)

Malana

Manali, Himachal Pradesh

An ancient, isolated village in the Parvati Valley known for its unique culture, strict social codes of conduct, and distinct system of governance.

The best time to visit Malana is from March to June and from September to November. During these months, the weather is pleasant for the trek, with clear skies and moderate temperatures. Avoid the monsoon season (July and August) due to heavy rainfall, which makes the trail slippery and increases the risk of landslides. Winter (December to February) brings heavy snowfall, often cutting off access to the village completely. The post-monsoon months offer lush green landscapes.

Full day (6-8 hours)
