Travel to Himachal, "the land of eternal snow."
River gorges, deep valleys, snow-capped Himalayan peaks and heritage glory - Himachal Pradesh has it all. Experience the magic of Himalayas that according to Hindus is the 'abode of Gods'.
In the ancient ages Himachal Pradesh was a mosaic of small states that were managed by petty princes and kings. These little 'thakurais' were important stops on a trade route to Central Asia.
The hills of Himachal are riot of cultural color with tribes like Lahulis, Pangwalis, Kinnauris, Gurjaris, Gaddis and Rajputs celebrating their festivals and fairs.
For the people who live in the Northern plains, the hill stations of Himachal are a respite from the killing heat that grips North India during summer.
