You don't need a fortune to see the world's most beautiful mountains. By using local transport and staying in traditional guest houses, you can experience the Great North for a fraction of the cost of luxury tours.

### Budget Tips - **Transport:** Use the local Hi-Ace vans instead of private jeeps where possible. - **Accommodation:** Look for family-run guest houses in villages rather than hotels in main towns. - **Food:** Eat at local 'Dhabas' where you can get delicious, fresh food for very little.
