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.

    Amitkumar's 12 days trip to Himachal

    For Travel in Ease team: We did a 10 day trip with travel on ease from manali to amritsar covering kasol, bir, dharmshala and Dalhousie in between. They provided us with amazing service with a private cab that was with us throughout these ten days and 5 days of hotel stay in which breakfast and dinn
    er was included. The properties that they booked were good except for Dharamshala however food included at each of the properties is worth mentioning. They had a well planned itinerary in which they covered all the attraction points. We had a couple trip and we were so much at ease because of their service. Also will like to say that the driver Ajay Thakur that we got is the best. So professional and humble. If we ever travel to north again we will go with travel ease. Special shout out to Baby Dharta for planning and coordinating the trip. Cheers to Sahil from Admin team and again Ajay for being an amazing driver cum guide. For Travel triangle team: Service needs to improve as there was no person from TT team to coordinate with throughout the trip, kept on calling but no response!

    Mardiaakshay's 8 days trip to Himachal

    Amazing Trip experience with you all...Specially the Welina Grand Manali Hotel the candle light dinner was done very nicely. Just the complain was of Dharamshala Hotel the room was not so good as compared to all other locations which I want to share. Staff was good everywhere just the hotel at Dharm
    shala was looking like a Homestay which we didn't like. Rest it was the best memorable trip. And I would recommend Travel Talkies to everyone. And I would also recommend everyone who choose Travel Talkies to go with Driver Ravi Sharma only. He is the best driver and guide I have ever seen. His Speed with judgement and his nature is superb. And very co-operative & Friendly driver who take care of us as his own family members and guide through various things.

    Jayanta's 7 days trip to Himachal

    Our trip was initially Organised by Pallavi, she gave her best time to make fit as per my request. Since we were travelling with a 3year kid, I request her to make a comfortable itinerary with maximum coverage and I happy to share that she was able to deliver the same. On trip coordination from @S
    hivam was also good, at last moment he suggested to change one hotel, which I believe correct decision when we saw the location of previous hotel. Overall it's a very satisfactory trip, I will give 9 out of 10. Only things I believe need to improve food quality and varieties in hotels, every next day their food menu was repeating. If we stay for there nights we have to eat same menu for two nights, same things I face for both the hotels in Dalhousie and Mcleodganj.

    We all enjoyed the trip very much. They arranged a tour package for us and provided us with a good experienced driver and good hotels. We did not get a good hotel in Shimla due to the lack of communication by the package provider. We had a lot of trouble there. However, Shivam garu, the management h
    ead, spoke and gave us a small connection in the package. Finally we were very happy. Thanks ideal tour's & travel's
