Travel tips for Himachal
- Carry warm layers even in summer, because evenings are cool, plus sunscreen, sunglasses and a light rain jacket
- Carry a valid photo ID for every traveller, and some cash, because ATMs can be far apart in the hills and cards are not accepted everywhere
- Mountain roads wind a lot, so carry motion-sickness tablets and some snacks and water for the long drive days
- Mobile networks can be patchy, so tell family your plan and download offline maps before you leave
- Keep one spare day in your plan, because landslides, snow or a damaged road can delay the journey
- Book onward flights or trains for the evening or the next day after your last night, not the same morning
