Petrol pumps on the route are at Shimla, Theog, Narkanda, Rampur, Powari, Recong Peo, Kaza, Keylong, Manali and Sarchu.

Unleaded petrol is available at select stations only
Travellers must be healthy and fit if they are looking to cross high passes.
Government hospitals are at Keylong, Kaza and Recong Peo. Dispensaries are available elsewhere.
Prescription medicines and sun-screen lotion should be carried along
The best time to travel in these areas is between April and October. While planning your trip, it is suggested that you check on general road conditions and confirm if the high passes are open to traffic.
Himachal has an enormous range of weather conditions. Most areas of Bilaspur, Solan, Sirmour, Hamirpur, Kangra and Una, are largely warm to hot in summer, and mild to pleasant in winter. The districts of Chamba, Kinnaur, Kullu, Lahaul-Spiti and Shimla, are largely mild to pleasant in summer and cold in winter. Do check the type of clothing and other equipment you may require for the region you are visiting.
Stay only in hotels/guest houses registered with the Department of Tourism. A certificate to this effect is prominently displayed by them. In the main tourist centers, the rates of porters are fixed. For hiring porters and pack animals - especially for treks - these are normally negotiated. Let the Department of Tourism help you.
Shop at Government emporia. The prices are reasonable and the quality ensured - 'Himachal Emporium' outlets are located at Bilaspur, Chamba, Dharamsala, Kangra, Jwalamukhi, Palampur, Recong Peo, Bhabanagar, Mandi, Kullu, Manali, Keylong, Nahan, Solan, Arki, Shimla, New Delhi, Bombay, Bangalore and Chamdigarh.
