Himachal Pradesh

India is known for many beautiful hill stations across the country but the most popular ones are in Himachal Pradesh. Yes, we are talking about the mesmerising Shimla and Manali. You're just an air ticket away from eternal bliss. However, this season, do more than just clicking stunning pictures! Below are few of the must do, must see in Himachal Pradesh.

Churdhar Peak

As it is always covered in snow, it is one of the most favourite tourist places in the region for trekking and starting up the trip. Experience the beauty of lush forests with tall trees, chirping birds, fresh mountain air and crystal clear streams as you see the huge idol of Lord Shiva and Kali on top of Churdhar. Also if you wish to spend a night under the star-lit sky for a camp-out, this place is impeccable.

Fishing

A surprise waits for all you fishing fanatics at Pabbar Valley. As the cold mountain streams of Himalaya surround you, take out the fishing rod, rest yourself and try hands on fishing. So pack up your bag and hit the fresh river water to enjoy trout fishing. It is a family activity that involves no kind of danger and is entirely different to have such a experience that we lack in our city.

As Himachal Pradesh is called mini Switzerland of India, your trip would be incomplete if you don't explore the snow covered mountains and foothills of Himalayas.
