Travel tips
- Carry sufficient cash as many local vendors and small cafes in Manali do not accept digital payments.
- Book a reliable private taxi for your day trips to Snow Point and Kharma Valley to navigate slippery mountain roads during the monsoon.
- Always carry a power bank, as frequent thunderstorms can lead to intermittent power outages in the region.
- Respect local customs by keeping your shoulders and knees covered when visiting the Hadimba Devi Temple.
- Check local weather reports every morning, as heavy rain often triggers temporary road closures or landslides.
