Money tips
- UPI works in Shimla, Manali, McLeod Ganj and most towns; carry plenty of cash for Kinnaur, Spiti and Tirthan, where ATMs are few and networks drop.
- In Manali, Kasol and Spiti, local taxi unions set sightseeing fares and often don't allow outside taxis on local trips; book through your hotel.
- Out-of-state vehicles pay an entry tax at the border and a green tax for some areas; Rohtang needs a separate online permit.
- Hill taxi rates are higher than on the plains because of slow roads and return trips; a 7–8 hour hill day often costs as much as a 300 km plains day.
