Essential Travel Tips
Drabar is best navigated by auto-rickshaws or taxis. Negotiate fares before starting your ride, or use ride-hailing apps if available.
Carry cash (Indian Rupees) as many smaller shops and street vendors do not accept cards. ATMs are available in the city center.
Dress modestly, especially when visiting temples. Cover shoulders and knees, and remove shoes before entering religious sites.
Drink bottled or filtered water to avoid stomach issues. Street food is generally safe if from busy vendors, but use discretion.
Learn a few Hindi phrases like 'Namaste' (hello), 'Dhanyavad' (thank you), and 'Kitna hua?' (how much?). Locals appreciate the effort.
Drabar is generally safe, but keep valuables secure and avoid isolated areas after dark. Use common travel precautions.
Bargaining is common in local markets, but do so politely. Government emporiums have fixed prices.
Check restaurant hours, as some may close between lunch and dinner service, typically around 3-6 PM.
When to Go
Best Time to Visit
The ideal time to visit Drabar is from October to March, during the winter and early spring months. During this period, the weather is pleasant, with daytime temperatures ranging from 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F), making outdoor exploration comfortable. The monsoon season (July to September) brings heavy rainfall and humidity, which can disrupt travel plans. Summer (April to June) is hot and dry, with temperatures often exceeding 40°C (104°F), making it less suitable for sightseeing. Winter also coincides with several local festivals, adding cultural vibrancy to your visit.
