🎯 Tips for your tour from Patiala / Punjab region
Start early morning from Amritsar (or whichever pickup point) to make good progress.
Pack warm clothing (night in hills gets cold) if travelling outside summer.
Check road conditions (monsoon or winter may cause closures).
Carry some cash, local SIM/data in case of poor connectivity.
Ask for driver breaks, rest stops – especially if older travellers or children are with you.
For best views, pick a clear weather day for Khajjiar.
Keep one “buffer” day if possible to account for delays so you don’t miss key spots.
