“The Himalayas have two faces. We show you the one behind the tourist trail.”
Mountain state along the western Himalayas with two distinct halves — the well-trodden tourist trail (Shimla, Manali, Dharamshala) and the deeper ranges of Spiti, Lahaul and Kinnaur that stay quiet because the roads are harder. Dharamshala holds the Tibetan government in exile; Chitkul is the last village before the China border; the Parvati Valley draws climbers and trekkers; Kinnaur's apple orchards run alongside the Sutlej. Best months vary sharply by altitude — summer for the high passes, winter for the lower hill stations. 34 destinations across the state.
