FAQs
Himachal Pradesh is best visited from March to June and September to November when the weather is pleasant and ideal for outdoor activities.
Must-visit places include Shimla, Manali, Dharamshala & Mcleodganj, Dalhousie & Khajjiar, Palampur & Kangra, and Chail.
Adventure enthusiasts can enjoy activities like paragliding in Solang Valley, trekking in Dharamshala, skiing in Manali (in winter), and hiking in various parts of the state.
It is recommended to hire a local taxi or self-drive to explore Himachal Pradesh, as the state offers scenic drives but can have winding roads.
Cultural attractions include the Tibetan influence in Dharamshala, colonial heritage in Shimla and Dalhousie, and ancient temples like Hadimba Temple in Manali and Bhagsunag Temple near Mcleodganj.
Travelers should be prepared for altitude changes, carry appropriate clothing for varying temperatures, and respect local customs and traditions, especially in religious places.
It is advisable to book accommodations in advance, especially during peak tourist seasons (summer and winter), to ensure availability and get the best rates. Many hotels and guesthouses can be booked online.
Don't miss trying Himachali cuisine specialties like Dham (traditional feast), Siddu (local bread), Chana Madra (chickpea curry), and various meat dishes.
Travel insurance is typically not included in standard packages. It's recommended to purchase travel insurance separately to cover unforeseen circumstances such as trip cancellations, medical emergencies, or loss of belongings.
Consider exploring offbeat places like Tirthan Valley, Barot, Bir Billing (famous for paragliding), and Spiti Valley (for its rugged landscapes and monasteries).
Major towns and tourist destinations have hospitals and medical facilities. However, in remote areas, medical facilities may be limited, so carrying a basic medical kit is advisable.
