The hotel has no fitness center or breakfast available so that is just wrong information written by people who have never been here… Anyways you get what you paid for. When I entered my room the toilet was filled with grime and muddy footsteps. The sheets were also stained before I had slept on them. The service tends to be slow and inattentive. The boys are nice enough and mean well but they...

When is the most affordable time to visit Ranchi?
The most affordable time to visit Ranchi is generally during the monsoon season, from July to September, and the shoulder season just before winter, around October and early November. During these periods, travel demand typically decreases, leading to lower prices for accommodation and sometimes even flights.

For solo travellers, the monsoon months can offer a unique, lush green landscape and fewer crowds, making it easier to find deals on guesthouses and local transport. While rain can be frequent, it often comes in bursts, leaving plenty of time to explore attractions like Hundru Falls or Dassam Falls when they are at their most spectacular, swollen with rainwater.

Couples might find the post-monsoon shoulder season, particularly October, an appealing time. The weather is pleasant, with the air feeling fresh and the scenery vibrant, but the peak tourist rush of winter hasn't yet begun. This allows for more competitive pricing on hotels and a more relaxed experience at popular spots like Jagannath Temple or Kanke Dam.

For those interested in local culture, a stroll through the local markets, such as the Daily Market, provides an authentic experience without significant expense.

Eating out in Ranchi is also very economical. Street food stalls and local eateries offer delicious and filling meals at extremely low prices.
