The moon does not care about your booking confirmation. On Karva Chauth, it rises at a specific time in a specific direction, and if your hill station, your hotel room, or your flight home puts a ridge, a cloud band, or a departure gate between you and it, the fast runs long in a way no spa treatment compensates for. Planning this trip backwards, from moonrise to destination, not from destination to moonrise, changes every decision you make.
