Things to carry
- · Photo ID for every traveller, including children — hotels ask for it at check-in
- · A light rain jacket or a compact umbrella
- · One warm layer: hill station evenings drop to 12–15°C even in summer
- · Walking shoes with grip, not new ones
- · Mosquito repellent
- · Any regular medication, plus motion-sickness tablets if you are prone to them — the ghat roads have a lot of bends
- · A power bank — long drive days and few charging points at the viewpoints

More questions, answered
Will the price change after I enquire?
The exact total for your dates is confirmed in writing before you pay. Some dates carry supplements or are unavailable; we tell you that at confirmation, not after.
Are entry tickets included?
No. Transport to every listed sight is included; entry tickets and activity fees are paid at each site.
Are the rooms air-conditioned?
City and coastal hotels have A/C rooms. Hill-station hotels provide non-A/C rooms because of the cooler climate — this is standard across categories.
