Useful Tips

If you have more time, you can plan a trek to Beas Kund, visit the Naggar Castle or indulge in paragliding at Bir-Billing. And if you have less time, skip the Vashisht Hot Water Spring and head straight to the Mall Road. We recommend starting early to avoid crowds, especially at Rohtang Pass and Solang Valley. Also, carry enough cash since most shops and entry fees don't accept cards.
