If you have less time, you can skip a few locations but make sure you visit the Tattapani Hot Springs and at least one adventure park. Wear comfortable shoes and bring a light jacket, as the temperature drops in the evening, especially in winter. Be careful of the monkeys in the Jakhu Temple area and do not feed them.
