Frequently Asked Questions

At Alkof Holidays, we ensure smooth travel planning. Our FAQ covers everything from booking procedures and payment methods to travel itineraries, best times to visit, hotel upgrades, and more. For more assistance, contact us anytime.

The best time to visit Araku Valley is from October to March, when the weather is pleasantly cool and ideal for sightseeing. During these months, the lush green valleys, coffee plantations, and surrounding hills are at their most vibrant, offering breathtaking views and comfortable conditions for outdoor activities. Winter mornings and evenings can be slightly chilly, adding to the charm of this hill station. The monsoon season (July to September) also brings a refreshing green cover and picturesque waterfalls, but heavy rainfall may cause travel disruptions. Summer (April to June) is warmer and less favorable, making the cooler months the preferred choice for a memorable Araku experience.

AlkofHolidays are true professionals of their job, they can meet and exceed the expectations of tourists seeking very different experiences. We preferred Buddist Pilgrimage and visited main 8 destinations connected to Budda's life, including Lumbini, Shravasti, Bodhgaya, Sarnatkh, Sankassa, Vaishali and Kushinagar. Tour assistant Sanjeev Kumar was extremely helpful, trying to fulfill all our requests regarding tour itinerary, and very thoutful and caring throughout our tour. Bus driver Shyambir along with his assistant Pawan were also very pleasant, the bus was always clean and neat. Altoghether the crew was very prepared and they knew every single detail about Buddist pilgrimage itinerary. It is also worth mentioning that they surprised us with greeting and farewell presents. Highly recommend Alkofholidays for India tour as well as their other destinations.
