Pack warm socks and layers—nights can get unexpectedly chilly.

Use a rain cover to protect your backpack and camera gear.

A power bank/portable charger is essential; electricity may not be available round the clock.

Insect repellent can be very helpful in forested and riverside areas.

Since accommodation in Nampong and Jairampur is limited, pre-book your hotel, homestay, or campsite well in advance.

Respect local culture and traditions. There are no strict rules, but following local customs earns goodwill everywhere.

There is one bank and two SBI ATMs in Jairampur/Nampong. ATMs may run out of cash during the festival, so carry enough money for meals, transport, entry fees, and shopping.

Health facilities are basic—carry a first-aid kit and necessary medicines.

Mobile connectivity is available on BSNL, Airtel, and Jio, but networks may get congested due to festival crowds.

The route to Jairampur, Nampong, and Pangsau Pass runs through a well-maintained double-lane National Highway. Traffic etiquette is generally better than many regions—stay patient, give way, and enjoy the ride.
