Things to Look Out For
India is not one country, climate-wise
Rajasthan in February reads dry-cold; Kerala in February reads humid-warm; Sikkim in February might be under snow. Pack for the specific itinerary, not 'India in general'. Tibro's per-state tours are tuned to one climate at a time. Don't try to chain three of them back-to-back.
Tipping is structured, not arbitrary
Driver tips at ₹500-1000 per day, guide tips at ₹500-1000 per half-day, hotel housekeeping ₹100 per day, restaurant 10% on top of any service charge already listed. Hand the driver/guide an envelope on the last day rather than tipping daily. It is more dignified for them.
Tap water and ice are a real consideration
Every Tibro-tier hotel provides sealed bottled water in the room daily. Use it for brushing your teeth too. At restaurants, ask for "sealed bottled water" specifically. Some places will pour from a filtered jug, which is fine in some kitchens and not in others. Ice is the hidden trap; ask for "no ice" with cold drinks unless the hotel makes its own.

Plan Your Timing
When to Go
The northeast works from November through April. Kaziranga's gates are the constraint: the park closes for the monsoon around mid-May and reopens in October, so a rhino itinerary outside that window has nothing to show. Meghalaya's living-root country stays green year-round but takes the heaviest rain on earth from June to September.
Cherrapunjee is at its most spectacular in the monsoon and at its least visitable — the falls are in full flood and so is everything else. Winter trades the volume for a view. Off-season departures trade some of the weather for materially lower hotel rates than the peak window.
