Things To Do in Himachal Pradesh

Your list of the best things to do, compiled on the basis of actual traveler experiences

Himachal Pradesh is a splendid location for a vacation and just the perfect for those who wish to unwind and relax. There are many things to do in Himachal Pradesh. The state’s weather all year round has the properties of appeasing anyone. Even during the monsoon when there are heavy showers or during the winter when the snow almost engulfs the city, no one is deterred to move out in Himachal.

The state has a strong Buddhist and Tibetan presence as the Dalai Lama considers a district called Dharamsala his second home. Hence, the first and foremost obvious thing to do in Himachal Pradesh would be to visit the monasteries. These monasteries offer a sense of peace and tranquility when one visits them. We would advise you to stay there and spend some time talking to the monks. When going to Himachal Pradesh, plan your trip with us to get the best of the place. Be sure to visit places like the Spiti valley, which has a surreal feel and will engulf you in its calming ambience. When sightseeing, do not miss out on Manali, both old and new. You can plan a trip further up to Ladakh from Manali via the Rohtang La pass. Visiting the Rohtang La should be on your things to do list.

Dinner at the Cecil Restaurant at the Oberoi in Shimla is another thing to do in Himachal Pradesh. Treat your taste buds to some fine cuisine and savour it with some locally prepared Himachal wine. Besides these, one cannot forget to engage in some adventure sports in Himachal. There is not a single adventure sport that Himachal does not offer. From camping to hiking, there are sports like mountain biking, mountaineering and rock climbing, skiing, river rafting, and paragliding!! You will need at least five days devoted just to trying all these sports out. The activities are carried out under the supervision of trained and certified instructors. You will be given basic training before you go in for an adventure of a lifetime.

You should also try sitting in the toy train that travels within Himachal Pradesh. It may sound like a childish activity but it is quite a lot of fun. It goes from Shimla to Kalka. The train has been nicknamed the ‘crown jewel’ and this name has stuck since the time of the British. The speed at which the train goes is just about 22km per hour, but that is what makes it so different from the other trains. Grab a window seat and just sit down to breathe in the pure air of the hills.

When going to Dalhousie, make it a point to visit the sunset point. This spot is not to be missed. So when in Himachal Pradesh, make a detailed itinerary so that you do not miss anything that the beautiful state has to offer.

    Simimadhu's 3 days trip to Himachal

    I had hired a cab for three days at Manali. The program went very well for the first two days. On the third day, because of weather, the schedule had to be canceled. Further, because of road breakage my bus to Dehradun from Manali was canceled. I had to book another bus from Kullu. However the car
    transport in charge asked me to pay additional charge of Rs 2000 to take us to Kullu bus station from Naggar. He did not take into account that the third day schedule ajay included Kullu which was not undertaken purely because of road closure.

    Vipeen's 6 days trip to Himachal

    It was an amazing trip and we can't wait to visit again! I highly recommend traveling through THE IDEAL TOURS PRIVATE LTD to others. #vacation Our July tour of Shimla and Manali was a perfect blend of nostalgia, natural beauty, and adventure. The memories of sipping hot tea while gazing at the mist-
    covered mountains, the thrill of snow sports, and the warm hospitality of the locals will forever be etched in my heart. These hill stations, with their unique charm and scenic splendor, truly provided a rejuvenating escape from the summer heat.

    Meerarora's 5 days trip to Himachal

    Our travel experience was very good with Travel Vichar. Ms, Shilpa (from travel vichar) arranged itinerary very well. Quality of rooms and services of hotel Clarks Inn Suites in Kangra and Moonglade in Dalhausi was great. Hotel at Kangra (Clarks Inn Suits) was awesome. Food ambiance and manageme
    nt are really good Clarks Inn Suites was the best among all the three hotels. Driver, Mr. Kewal Kumar was nice person and his driving skill is very good. Travel Agent Ms. Shilpa is very nice and supported where need. But the hotel in McLeodganj, Sky Bhagsu was not good. It is like a guest house not like a 3 star hotel. Rooms are very small just like stores in houses. Even basic amenities are not available in rooms. Thanks to Ms. Shilpa, Travel Vichar and Travel Triangle for great experience.

    Jithin's 5 days trip to Himachal

    My wife and I recently returned from a trip in Shimla and Manali, and we couldn't be happier with the entire experience! We booked our trip through Travel Talkies, and they truly exceeded our expectations. However, we would like to tell one suggestion for next customers that to avoid Hotel Snow Vil
    la in Manali, which was not seems to be good in our experience. The hotel Orison in Shimla was perfect and we were expecting the same in Manali as well.

    Ar Hershita's 5 days trip to Himachal

    We hired the taxi services from Turn on vacation for 7 day during our himachal trip. The vehicle provided was a good one and our driver was very helpful and a reliable person. He was very flexible and well tailored to our plan. The pricing for 7 day long trip was reasonable amount, considering with
    the state tax and tolls including. I would definitely hire their service if I plan any further visit to Himachal. Thanks for your service travel triangle.

    Shilpesh's 7 days trip to Himachal

    The staff at Hotel in Manali lodge where we were going to have special honeymoon candlelight dinner was rude serving us candlelight dinner. The videos shown to me of candlelight dinner were different than what they given us in actual. There was mismatch in itinerary provided to cab driver and me.
    Also check-in/check-out scheduled listed on Travel Triangle and actual check-in/check-out date for Hotel in Dharmashala were incorrect due to some technical glitch which resulted me in paying out of my pocket. Despite all these issues we were able to enjoy the trip but I was expecting more smoother experience.
