October to March; monsoon is lush but wet

Yes if the itinerary matches the group’s pace. The key is choosing the right stay zone and not forcing every person into every activity.
Avoid booking before agreeing on budget, making one person handle all payments, and planning too many distant stops in one day.
Use it to collect votes, assign owners, store bookings, build a shared budget and settle expenses without digging through chats.
