Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best time to visit Himachal Pradesh?
The ideal time depends on your interests: March-June for pleasant weather (15-30°C), July-August for monsoon greenery (but possible landslides), September-November for clear mountain views, and December-February for snow (especially in Manali, Shimla).
Do I need special permits for Himachal?
Indian citizens don't need permits for most areas. Foreign nationals require Inner Line Permits for certain regions like Spiti Valley, Kinnaur, and areas near the Tibet border, which we can arrange.
How should I prepare for altitude in Himachal?
For high-altitude areas like Rohtang Pass or Spiti, acclimatize gradually, stay hydrated, avoid alcohol, and carry medication for altitude sickness if prone. Most itineraries are designed for gradual ascent.
