💡 Pro-Tips for a 1-Night Trip
-
The Gypsy Rule: You must hire a registered 4x4 Gypsy to enter the forest area and waterfalls. Your personal sedan or SUV will not be allowed past certain checkpoints.
-
Permit Fees: Ensure your package includes the Forest Department Permit fees, as these can be a hassle to arrange on your own for a short trip.
-
Footwear: Wear sturdy sports shoes with good grip; the paths to Bee Falls and Jata Shankar involve many stairs and uneven rocks.
