Travel Tips & Safety

Best Time to Visit

• Ideal Season: October to March (pleasant weather for sightseeing and outdoor activities).
• Avoid: Peak summer (April–June) due to high temperatures.

 2. Getting Around

• Local Transport Options:
  • Auto-rickshaws, shared autos, cycle rickshaws.
  • App-based cab services like Ola are available in nearby Bhilai and Raipur.
• Tip: Negotiate the fare beforehand if you're using local autos without meters.

 3. Stay Safe at Your Stay

• Book in Advance: Especially during festivals like Navratri or local fairs in Dongargarh.
• Choose Well-Reviewed Hotels: Prefer hotels near Gandhi Chowk, Station Road, or Bhilai for better amenities.

 4. Food & Water Safety

• Drink: Only bottled or filtered water. Carry your own if you’re going on a day trip.
• Eat Street Food: From clean and crowded vendors only — Poha, Jalebi, and Chana Chaat are safe bets.
• Tip: Carry basic digestive medicines if you’re trying unfamiliar dishes.
