Travel tips

  • Carry cash in small denominations; many hill‑top stalls accept only rupees and may not take cards.
  • Tip 10 % at restaurants and small hotels if service charge isn’t included, and give a modest amount to tea stall owners for good service.
  • Buy a local SIM card (e.g., Jio or Airtel) at the nearest shop; a prepaid plan with 1‑2 GB data works well for navigation and photo uploads.
  • Use reputable shared taxis or government‑run buses for day trips to Kundala Dam and Top Station to avoid overcharging.
  • Start early for Photo Point to catch soft morning light and avoid crowds, and keep a waterproof bag for your camera gear.
  • Keep a reusable water bottle; refill at hotels or tea shops to stay hydrated and reduce plastic waste.
