Tips

For a more relaxed pace, add an extra night in Kangra to explore the tea gardens and local markets, or extend your stay in Anandpur Sahib to attend the evening prayer at the Gurdwara. If time is tight, skip the evening Aarti at Kangra Fort and head directly to Jwala Devi, saving a couple of hours while still covering the main shrines.
