Tourist Places in Himachal Pradesh
This mountain state in northern India has what few other states have a kaleidoscope
panorama of wealth; of mighty snowy peaks and enchanting evergreen glades, bubbling
streams and misty forests, lakes, meadows and cultivated hillscapes. Situated
in the trans Himalayan region of Lahaul and Spiti, it is a land of contrasts.
To its north are the barren rocks and raging torrents of the twin valleys of Lahaul
and Spiti. Kulu and Manali are different, bountiful orchard country; the valleys
of Kangra are rich croplands. High points for the visitors include Simla, Kullu,
Manali, Rohtang Pass. The Kullu valley is one of the most beautiful, with lush
green forests and Beas River running through it. From Manali, the trip along the
spectacular mountain road to Leh via Rohtang, Keylong, Pang is breathtaking, and
takes one across the second highest vehicular pass in the world at a height over
5500 m. Dharamsala, famous for settlement of Dalai Lama, lies on the foothills
of Dhauladhar mountain which flanks the valley. Himachal's valleys - Simla; Chamba;
Kangra, Kullu, Kinnaur, Spiti & Lahaul are the trasure hunt, each famous for
its tradition, landscape, culture, temples, people and art. Charming, tolerant,
guileless, and scrupulously honest are the people of Himachal that make an indelible
impression on visitors. The majority of the population is of aryan stock and are
devout Hindus, there is ample representation of Buddhism, especially in the north,
and Islam. The people of Lahaul-Spiti are of Mongol stock, and display the facial
features associated with the east.Popular Treks : Lahaul Valley(4268), Chamba (5100)
