💡 Travel Tips
💰 Stay in local guesthouses and homestays in Mandi town (₹800-1500/night) instead of resort chains; they offer authentic experiences and support local families while saving 40-50% compared to branded hotels.
📅 October to November and March to May are ideal, offering pleasant weather, clear skies for trekking, and comfortable temperatures ranging from 15-25°C. Avoid monsoon season (July-September) due to heavy rainfall and landslide risks on mountain roads.
🛂 Indian passport holders do not require a visa to visit Mandi as it is within India. Simply carry a valid ID proof like Aadhaar, PAN, or passport for domestic travel.
