Know Himachal
A state in northern India famous for its scenic beauty and rich cultural heritage: snow-capped mountains, lush green valleys, serene lakes, picturesque hill stations and adventure sports such as trekking, skiing, paragliding and river rafting.
The state is also renowned for religious tourism, with several ancient temples and monasteries. Shimla, Manali, Dharamshala, McLeodganj, Kullu, Rohtang Pass and Solang Valley are the best-known stops, and Himachal is equally loved for its handicrafts, textiles and traditional cuisine. Ethnic communities here have preserved their culture and traditions over time.
Best time to visit
Himachal has three seasons — winter, summer and monsoon — and every season has its own advantages. The best time to visit is February to June. Snowfall falls between October and February.
