What to Expect

Expect basic guesthouses with attached baths, hot water in buckets, and menus full of pancakes, hummus, and maggi. The crowd is a mix of Indian backpackers, long-stay foreigners, and weekend trippers from Delhi and Chandigarh. Days are for short walks to nearby waterfalls or temples; nights are for bonfires and card games. Phone signal is unreliable (Jio works in patches, Airtel is spotty). Cash is king — withdraw in Bhuntar or Kullu.
