Himachal Pradesh, the “Abode of Snow” covers over 56000 sq km of the Western Himalayas. Himachal’s capital Shimla, famous as the summer capital of the British Raj, remains a popular destination for visitors. Manali, the state’s other big hill station, is in the heart of idyllic Kullu Valley. Watered by the Beas River, it is an excellent base for treks and excursions. West of Kullu, with the magnificent Dhauladhar Range as its backdrop, is the Kangra Valley, dotted with apple orchards. Its main town is Dharamsala, home to Dalai Lama and a vibrant Tibetan community, and the seat of the Tibetan Government in Exile. In the eastern part of the state is Kinnaur with its green pastures and enchanting villages, while Lahaul and Spiti to the north are lands of rugged grandeur, with Buddhist monasteries clinging to steep, rocky cliffs.
