Good to know
The last few hours are a very winding mountain road. Take an anti-nausea pill half an hour before, and sit up front.
Ask up front if tolls, the driver's night stay and GST are included. An Innova for 6–7 people: ₹8,400–12,600.
July–September brings landslides. In summer 2026 the road at Kwarab was closed for weeks. In the monsoon, check with us first.
