💡 Travel Tips
💰 Stay in family-run homestays and guesthouses (₹1,500-2,500 per night) instead of hotels to save 40-50% on accommodation while enjoying authentic home-cooked Kumaoni meals included in the stay
📅 October to November and March to May are ideal for visiting Pangot when the weather is clear, temperatures are pleasant (15-20°C), and bird sightings are at their peak. Avoid the monsoon season (June-September) when heavy rains make trekking difficult, though the landscape becomes lush green.
🛂 Indian passport holders do not require any visa to visit Pangot as it is located within India. Simply carry a valid photo ID or passport for domestic travel.
