Before you book
Key point
The 9-hour Rishikesh–Lohajung drive is a significant cost component. Packages including transport are worth the premium — shared taxis are cheaper but add coordination complexity on a tight winter schedule.
Caution
Tharali has the last ATM before Lohajung. No cash access on trail. Carry minimum ₹3,000 — enough for tips, snacks, and any gear rental at Lohajung.
Tip
Gear rental is available at Lohajung but stock runs low in January. If you need microspikes, gaiters, or a warmer sleeping bag — book them in advance with your operator, not on arrival.
