Shimla and Manali

 

Two of Himachal’s most popular and loved destinations are Shimla and Manali. With the large number of tourist attractions in Kullu Manali, it would be unwise not to pay a visit to any of them. A lot of the smaller towns and districts are located very close to Shimla and Manali, which makes it easier to take one-day trips and returning to your accommodation in the major cities. Planning travelling and gaining tourist information from Shimla or Manali is also a lot easier than doing it in the smaller areas.

Dalhousie and McLeodganj

A visit to Dalhousie is incomplete without visiting its twin McLeodganj and vice versa. Add Dharamshala to the mix and you’ve got a wonderful package tour of memories to cherish later on. Dalhousie is a quaint little town in Himachal famous for its monasteries and quiet resorts. McLeodganj is known for the Tibetan museum, Buddhist monasteries and the Dal Lake along with many other smaller sights to see. As these two are out of the various tourist spots of Himachal, it is always recommended to visit them at least once during a trip.
