ATM Point and Mobile Connectivity info

ATM POINT: Withdraw money before your journey, Purola is the last point where you will find ATM. However it due to remote area it may have sometime issues so better to use ATM in Dehradun / Mussoorie.

Mobile Connectivity: There will be no networks during the trek, in Purola your device will receive the networks and at Sankri only Vodafone and BSNL signals are there but you cannot rely on the connectivity because the signal strength is not good. So make sure you finish all your important work and calls before starting of the trek.
