It is surrounded by cedar forests on the edge of the Himalayas, this hillside city is home to the Dalai Lama and the snow-laden peaks of Dhauladhar mountains with lush pine and deodar forests.

The attractive places in Dharamshala are Dal Lake and Mcleodganj. Dal Lake is one of the popular picnic spots where one can admire the surrounding views. A perfect place for boating, trekking, and you will find an ancient Shiva temple.

Spiti Valley

Spiti Valley is an isolated village up in the cold desert mountains. The name “Spiti” means “The Middle Land“, as it’s the land between Tibet and India. Spiti valley is one of the famous places to visit in Himachal Pradesh for its monasteries. Tabo monastery, for instance, is one of the prime attractions in Spiti. Indeed, it is famous for its natural beauty and cultural heritage. The monasteries in Spiti are renowned for spectacular murals, ancient temples, and several stupas.

Despite the fact it is fairly isolated, plenty of spiritual and adventure travelers are gradually making their way to Spiti to explore its many Buddhist monasteries scattered throughout the area, and indulge in thrilling activities, such as trekking, mountain biking, whitewater rafting, and wildlife spotting.

Stunning Places To Visit In Himachal Pradesh – Kasauli

Kasauli is a very famous hill station in Himachal Pradesh and has various attractions and activities that attract tourists throughout the year. Some of the key attractions include the Christ Church, Kasauli Brewery, the Nahri Temple, Sunset Point, and the Manki Point among others. Best place to buy woolens, handcraft items & Jams, and Marmalades (generally a bottle costs you around INR 150 which is quite cheap, isn’t?), also a wide variety of cheap, locally produced wines. They are easily available at most of the provisional stores.

The town is not that huge in terms of attractions, commerce, and population. However, that’s what a traveler wants as it’s all about serene beauty, pure fresh air, and a peaceful vibe. You can’t miss the mesmerizing sunset point over there.

Shimla

Shimla is one of the most gorgeous hill stations, also known as “Queen of Hills“. This the greatest commercial, crowded place and there is a lot to do in Shimla, but I would recommend spending time inside the city only in the off-season as you can see the below picture and think about how it would be to visit in peak season. Though it is also a famous honeymoon holiday spot because of the pleasant season throughout the year. Certainly, Shimla is the most happening place in Himachal Pradesh.

If you are visiting in winters then take precautions for snow and black ice on the road. In the lean season, it’s a joy walking on the mall road and do some local shopping from the market. If you want to avoid heavy traffic in peak season then I must recommend you to stay in Chail, Kufri, or Solan, whichever comes on your way first as all these are beautiful and peaceful within a 50 Km radius of Shimla.

Dalhousie – A Must Visit Place In Himachal Pradesh

Last, but not least, Dalhousie is a year-round holiday destination and known for its pleasant climate and natural beauty. It looks more attractive in the winter months when the entire hill town is blanketed in a white sheet. Dalhousie is one of the most visited & pleasant hill stations during the summer season. You find a breathtaking misty background surrounded by a green blanket, pleasant lakes, cascading waterfalls, and lush pine and oak trees.

If you are fond of adventure activities then this is a solid place for you to partake in outdoor activities, like Trekking, Canoeing, River Rafting, and camping also. Similarly, the pristine nature and peaceful atmosphere lure nature lovers and peace seekers alike. It is generally the most-preferred time when tourists from different parts of India as the weather is pleasant and the temperature is less than 30 degrees Celsius.

I hope this blog will give you some ideas about the best places to visit in Himachal Pradesh. I am writing this because I have been to all these places, and it was an overwhelming experience over there.
