Adventure Himachal Himachal has it all. Rivers, lakes, forests, alpine meadows, treacherous passes, snow-peaked high mountains, spread-out valleys – simply ideal for a wide variety of adventure sports. Heritage Himachal Somehow, when you think Himachal, heritage is not the first thing that comes to your mind. The mountains tower so tall that all other aspects are somewhat dwarfed.
The arts and crafts of any region are a reflection of its environment, people and traditions. So it is in Himachal.  Fairs & FestivalsSomewhere before the winter sets in, all paths in the Kulu valley lead to but one place - the Dhalpur Maidan. The hill devatas come in grand procession to pay their respects to Raghunathji. Himachal Highlands Located in the dizzy heights of the Himalayas, with passes that remain closed for six months, Kinnaur, Spiti and Lahaul were till now, a forbidden land. Himachal Lowlands Lying spread out in the lower Himalayas, where the breeze is mellow and the summers enchanting, is the Kangra valley. People come here from the plains for a whiff of universal spiritualism, for religious pilgrimage, for history, heritage, hippidom and holiday. Himachal Hill Stations “…But it was all pure delight – the wandering road, climbing, dripping, and sweeping about the growing spurs; the flush of a the morning laid along the distant snows; the branched cacti, tier upon tier on the stony hillsides; the voices of a thousand water channels; the chatter of the monkeys; the solemn deodars...” Rudyard Kipling, Kim |
