December to February brings snow to Shimla and Manali, foggy Taj sunrises and prime Ranthambore tiger tracking. Summer (April\u2013June) sends you high into the hills; monsoon (July\u2013September) rinses dust from forts but can trigger landslides in Himachal, so keep an eye on forecasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"building-your-itinerary\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Building_your_itinerary\"><\/span>Building your itinerary<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Link Agra, Jaipur and Delhi for the famed Golden Triangle, or extend into a Golden Quadrangle by adding Ranthambore.

Volvo coaches to hill stations leave Kashmere Gate ISBT nightly; claim a front seat if you suffer motion sickness. If you drive, FASTag toll plazas speed things up, though you should still carry \u20b9300 in cash for smaller booths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"accommodation-advice\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Accommodation_advice\"><\/span>Accommodation advice<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Choices range from backpacker hostels around Agra\u2019s Taj Ganj to heritage havelis in Jaipur. Book Ranthambore lodges at least three months ahead\u2014core-zone beds vanish quickly. Lakeside hotels in Nainital sell out fast over summer weekends, while Spiti homestays provide rustic comfort; pack a liner and a power bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"permits-and-bookings\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Permits_and_bookings\"><\/span>Permits and bookings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Inner-line permits remain mandatory for certain Spiti border villages; arrange them in Shimla or Kaza within half an hour.
