Quick question for the India regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there in 2024 and had a great time but I've heard some crackdowns happened.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers
Best time to visit India

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are higher than what's described here.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality overall.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found a different part to be better value.
