Accommodation and Booking:
There are a variety of accommodations ranging from budget to luxury in all three cities. Booking in advance is advisable especially during peak tourist season. You can book online via various booking platforms.

Road conditions can be tricky in the hills, especially in winter due to snowfall, so hire experienced drivers for your road journey. Carry necessary medicines as sudden weather changes may cause health issues.
