Your expert’s note
The Himalayan view is a morning-only proposition; by afternoon the haze off the Doon valley usually closes it out, and you will have paid for the ropeway to look at cloud. If the queue at the base station is long, the bridle path from Kutchery takes about 20 minutes on foot and is free.
