Himachal Pradesh, located in the northern part of India and nestled within the majestic Himalayan range, is celebrated for its stunning natural beauty, tranquil hill stations, and rich cultural heritage. The name “Himachal” originates from Sanskrit, meaning “abode of snow,” perfectly capturing the region’s snow-clad mountains and untouched landscapes. With Shimla as its capital, Himachal Pradesh offers a wide variety of experiences, from thrilling adventure activities like trekking, skiing, and paragliding in popular spots such as Manali and Solang Valley, to peaceful spiritual escapes in Dharamshala and McLeod Ganj, where the Dalai Lama resides.
