Suggested flow
A slower, better itinerary
- 1Day 1: arrive, settle near the main stay cluster, and keep the first plan light so the road day does not eat into the experience.
- 2Day 2: build the day around Atal Tunnel access and Sissu waterfall, then add a food, cafe, temple, market or sunset stop nearby.
- 3If you have another day, connect Sissu with a nearby Himsafar destination instead of rushing a long transfer after dark.
