Himachal Tourism
There was a time when Shimla used to be the summer capital of British Raj. In summers, Britishers would often visit Himachal to rest & rejuvenate. The same is true for modern India as well. Even today, Himachal is considered as one of the finest destinations to hit, explore and spend time at. There are a million things that separate Himachal, esp. Manali, from other hill stations of its kind and that is why, even today, Himachal remains the first choice among tourists, world over. Covered in a blanket of soft-white snow are the Himalayan Mountains, guarding the entire state from the upheavals of an unreliable weather. In contrast to the stoic mountains, the Beas River keeps on moving thunderously. This is how Himachal Tourism carries the varied & vibrant elements of nature together. Himachal also is a house to the worshippers of different faiths. From temples to Gurudwaras to monasteries, Himachal Pradesh has a deep & sacred relationship with religion. Spring is the time when the daffodils bloom. Spring is the time when the air still has the freshness & fragrances of winters along with the comforting warmth of summers
