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.

    Abhishek's 6 days trip to Himachal

    Overall it was good experience. Though Shimla/Manali is overhyped places, if you don't witness SnowFall, it's not worth spending money River rafting, Paragliding

    Aishwarya's 7 days trip to Himachal

    My experience with Turn on vacation was very good. I must say trustworthy travel dealers. Anyone who's travelling for the first time can avail their services without any hesitation. The hotels of Shimla, Manali, Amritsar & Delhi were very good, the behavior of the hotel staff was very good and the f
    ood quality was also very good. The driver they provide us is friendly and good in nature. Driving was very smooth. Car was clean, and helped us to tie our luggage. Special Thanks to Sandeep who has taken care of everything.

    Karan

    Punjab

    Karan's 7 days trip to Himachal

    trip was good but it includes too much travelling as i believe travel agent has to guide tha traveller about travelling hours and recommend them to increase days for covering 3 to 4 destinations my trip plan was good but it includes too much travelling otherwise experience was good

    Phani Anusuri

    Hyderabad

    Phani's 5 days trip to Himachal

    Overall, the experience is excellent except for the hotel provided in Manali as they charged extra for everything, I don't recommend this hotel to anyone. And for Shimla, most of the places were skipped and they did not show us entire places given in the trip planner

    Travel on Ease went above and beyond to create a truly unforgettable trip. From the moment we contacted them to the end of our journey, the service was exceptional. The team was always available to answer our questions and provide helpful advice. Their expertise and knowledge were invaluable. The
    team took the time to understand our interests and preferences, and the itinerary reflected that perfectly. Thank you for creating a truly memorable travel experience. Looking forward to our next adventure together. :)

    Amitkumar Satnalika

    Mumbai

    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!
