Before you book

Caution

National Park entry (₹150/day Indians, ₹600/day foreigners) is almost never included in packages. It is paid at the gate in cash — factor this in before assuming your package is all-in.

Key point

Hemkund Sahib inclusion varies by operator — some treat it as an optional add-on. It is the hardest and most rewarding day of the trek. Confirm it is in your package before booking.

Tip

Joshimath is the last ATM — 22km before Govindghat. No ATMs at Ghangaria. Withdraw enough cash for the full trek at Joshimath, not before.
