Himachal Holiday Package,Himachal Holidays Tourism India,Tourism of Himachal Pradesh

Himachal Pradesh-The Land of eternal snow peaks – takes in the transition zone from the plains to the high Himalaya and in the trans-Himalaya region of Lahaul and Spiti, actually crosses that mighty barrier to the Tibetan plateau. The Kullu Valley, with its developed and tourist –oriented economy, can be considered the backbone of the state. Off to the east is the Parbati Valley, popular with long-stay visitors.

In the Chamba and Kangra regions can be found typical British hill stations and small but beautiful temple complexes. The residence of the Dalai Lama is in Upper Dharamsala, Known as McLeod Ganj, which has become a centre for Buddhism, as well as the headquarters of Tibetan Government in Exile. Shimla, the famous colonial hot-weather capital, remains Himachal’s seat of government.

The bleak, high altitude regions of Lahaul, Spiti and Kinnaur were opened to foreigners in 1992 and bear a striking resemblance to Ladakh. Permits (easily obtained) are necessary to visit some parts. The predominant influence here is Tibetan Buddhism and there are some spectacular gompas (monasteries) here.
