How to get there::
 

By Flight: ou could fly down to Bhuntar Airport, an hour and a half from the Trout House. There are two flights a week to and from Delhi. Taxis to the Trout House are easily available at the airpoort.

By Rail: If your catching a train from anywhere else in the country you might by pass Delhi and stop over at Ambala (8 hours by road from the Trout House) or even continue to the Railhead at Kiratpur (7 hours). Taxis and buses are easily available for the remainder of the journey from just outside the railway station at Ambala. You would probably have to bargain a bit for a good price

By Road: To get to Nagini (550 kms from Delhi) one must turn off just BEFORE the Pandoh Tunnel an hour before Kulu on the Manali highway from Chandigarh. From Larji (the dam) it is 26 kms of a pleasant drive along the river via Larji, Chalogi, Bali, Manglore Targali, Sidhwa till Kundan Bridge just under Banjar. Do not go upto Banjar. At this point turn left towards Goshain. The Trout House is 6 kilometres up this road in Nagini. Look out for our boards after Larji.

The best way is to drive in yourself. The roads are fine all the way. It takes 11 to 12 hours to drive up from Delhi.
 

The best seasons to visit are from Mid March to June and then again from September through to November. Even at the height of summer light woolens may be required in the early mornings and late evenings. However the winters in the valley are mild (for Himachal) with many days of bright sunshine and the occasional light snowfall.
