Useful Tips

If you have more time, consider visiting Leh-Ladakh or Amarnath temple. If you have less time, skip Har Ki Doon Valley and Patnitop. To save money, try local street food instead of restaurant meals and bargain for taxi fares. Remember to carry warm clothes as temperatures can drop at higher altitudes.
