Peak season (October–March) sees heavy tourist footfall, especially on weekends and holidays. Early morning visits (before 8 AM) are essential to avoid congestion. Our licensed guides know the optimal routes and timing to navigate crowds efficiently. Consider weekday visits for a significantly quieter experience.
