Travel Tips

  • Obtain Inner Line Permit well before arrival; processing takes 1-2 weeks.
  • Carry cash in Indian Rupees; ATMs and card facilities are extremely limited.
  • Road conditions worsen June-August; avoid monsoon for safe travel.
  • Hire a local guide for trekking; trail marks are minimal and weather changes rapidly.
