It's always good to plan trip 3 months in advance so that it helps with flight charges. but in cade u r travelling on your own then it depends on seasons because if it's peak season then the room rent will be expensive of it isnt then you need not bother you can either book 2 weeks in advance or at times you can decide where to stay when you visit the place

Yes it is better to book a package three or two months before your travel journey. By booking in advance helps you to prepare for the journey besides cost too proves economical.

From Varanasi there are a few ways to reach Kathmandu. One is by air. From Varanasi there are flights. Kindly check with Buddha airlines. Second economical way is via train. You have to purchase a FTQ ticket in Varanasi junction. There is an overnight train to Gorakhpur station. From there you have to catch a bus to Sinauli border then again from there to Kathmandu. It takes a day to reach Kathmandu. Third way is there are direct buses from Chaudhary Charan Singh cantt bus station. It’s an overnight journey. Kindly check for tickets via UPSRTC and Redbus. If you plan to self drive or travel by cab it’s a 14 hour journey. You have to cross border permits, vehicle permits.

Fireflies who come from family of beetles, are seen more during monsoon time. From mumbai here are a few spots you could view especially now. Rajmachi fort where you need to trek to see the flies. There are groups who take you and it’s safe for children. This spot is 94km away from mumbai. Dang forest is one such must visit spot for fireflies. There are guided tours, that you need a whole day to spend, which has all facilities and safe for children. Bhandardara lake fireflies is actually a grand event. It is one of the most safest place to visit and camp for children. There are packages and tours arranged to see the fireflies along with children, kindly check them out. Malshej ghat is yet another spot and I had been to this spot for two days from mumbai. We went via resort package tour to see the fireflies and camped in the night. Got to explore lot of nature, besides the beauty of fireflies along with some insight of history. Will share a few tripoto links written by travellers pertaining to their travel near mumbai to view fireflies, see if it is suitable for your travel. https://www.tripoto.com/maharashtra/trips/bhandardara-trip-itinerary-141533 https://www.tripoto.com/maharashtra/trips/rajmachi-fort-trek-and-camping https://www.tripoto.com/nashik/trips/experience-the-firefly-festival-at-this-pristine-village-in-maharashtra-5c9e6ab38db96

Yes it is beginning of rain in Rameshwaram, which changes the weather. However be the rains temperature ranges between 28 to 35degree Celsius. So the day you plan visit to Pamban you need to get a weather check done. Since July will be beginning of rain, I don’t think it would be heavy rains. Though downpours are encountered.

If you are planning to visit Lucknow which is on the north of Raipur here is what could be done. It takes 16 hours to reach Lucknow by road from Raipur. You could start your journey via Bilaspur and stay overnight at Beohari. On the way you could visit Gobind sagar lake, Vyas cave, Bachhretu cave. On the way before reaching Beohari you could stop by Bandhavgarh hill, Baghel museum, national park, caves and Dudu Dhara falls. Second day you could start a bit early and explore keshari falls, Gobindgarh palace, taal falls, rani Talab mandir and proceed towards Allahabad. There is lots to visit in Allahabad right from Triveni sangam, museum, fort and planetarium plus a few must visit local mandir. From Allahabad 7 hours is Lucknow. On the way you could stop at botanical garden, bird sanctuary. Another place is Jharkhand which is one such prominent place located in the north of Chhattisgarh. From Raipur Ranchi is 11hours drive. You could first stop at Sirpur for an overnight stay. On the way you could stop at Buddha vihara, Laxman temple, barnawapara sanctuary. Start day 2 a bit late after tasting great local breakfast and proceed towards Sambalpur. Right from samaleshwari temple, gudguda falls, deer park, Buddha Raja temple, cattle island, timini temple in four hours time you arrive Ranchi. Regarding road conditions, both the highways are good. Of course you need to do a weather check before starting, keep the travel documents ready in hand, vaccine certificate. Happy journey.

Rains in Kerala really start from June end till august mid. That’s when cyclones, depressions, downpours really happen. Now it is not so. So you can travel to Kerala in the month of June. One thing is, these three months when you travel you need to do a weather check and plan your that days travel. Other spots are Pondicherry, Araku valley, lambasinghi, Vishakapatnam, dhanushkodi, Madurai, Lakshwadeep, Goa and Gokarna.

With much snow cleared, the highway doesn’t look much dangerous to drive. However nothing can be predicted when it comes to weather, there are sudden snowfalls making that day pretty dangerous to drive. So kindly do a weather check before travel. There are some patches in the road, but it’s not that bad. You need to drive carefully near Rohtang top and Tanglang la.
