On the banks of Kadalundhi river this sanctuary is the home of 100 migratory birds. Located at a higher sea level there are rare, lovely birds to view. You would also spot sea animals, besides kingfishers. There is trekking organised inside the forest, besides a full boat ride on the river. An ideal picturesque spot. Though best time to visit is between November to April, if you are lucky you might see lot of birds now. With monsoon season setting from June in Kerala, kindly check on weather and plan your journey. I travelled in the month of December to Kozhikode but it was couple of years back. Weather was good, and had opportunity to see few new unknown birds.

AnswerWishlist
To explore Darjeeling 4 days is much needed. The cost for solo travel to Darjeeling comes between 15k to 25k. Based on mode of transport and place you stay the cost varies. To reach Kanchenjunga from Darjeeling via Yuksom by road it takes 4 hours. Then you need to trek to the peak. Looks like solo trek is not advisable for many say permit is not issued for solo trekkers. So if you plan via a group or via a guide cost varies accordingly. You need to check in the permit Center there.

Chopta is called as mini Switzerland of Uttarakhand. Filled with velvet meadows, views of Himalayas, evergreen forest, Chopta trek is a medium grade trek which is done for 5 days. The distance between Chopta and Rishikesh is 5 hours. On the other hand Kedarkantha trek is a 6 day trek which is a summit and mainly undertaken by beginner and seasoned trekkers. Stunning views, beautiful villages, and the feel you are in the Himalayas is guaranteed. From Kedarkantha Rishikesh is 5 hours away. My advise would be Chopta for its stunning beauty, and nature. Someday you should try Kedarkantha trek too.

The months of May and October are the best time to travel the Silk Road. During May, the average temperature along the route is around 15C. The scenery is most beautiful during this month. The accumulated winter snow on the tableland is melting & the grass is turning green. though may is peak season. but if you want to see snow then you can visit from nov end till march end. but winter is freezing cold.
UpvoteCommentOctober to March is an ideal time to visit silk route. Though weather will be cold, still you get to view the lovely snow capped peaks. Try to visit before December and after February for due to snowfall the route is likely to get closed.
