Himachal Pradesh- The perfect Summer Holiday Destination with ThinkHolidaysGroup.com

The intense Summer heat brings a certain unexplainable wanderlust for cool and hilly picturesque places. The desire is further strengthened by movies and songs depicting some really amazing hilly and chilly locations.

Himachal Pradesh is one such summer holiday destination and has been featured in many films. Infact, for some movie lovers like us, Himachal Pradesh is synonymous to the song from Bollywood movie “Jab we met” (Kareenakapoor dancing in yellow kurta amongst traditional Himachali crowd, remember anyone?)

Another reason to visit Himachal this summer, and especially if you are single (wink wink) is that local Himachali people are beautiful. Blessed with glowing skin, smooth hair and huge eyes, the beauty gene is found in abundance. Now wonder some of our very popular and gorgeous actresses belong to the state.

But the best beauty award goes to the state itself. Alpine forests that are lush and dense, Snow clad hills and mountains, walking trails with flower and fruit rich trees on either side makes this place a wonderful getaway from the daily hustle and bustle.

Today we discuss the top three places you must visit, while you are spending your summer in the beautiful state with your friends or family.

1.      Shimla

Any Himachal trip is incomplete without visiting Shimla. Widely popular as the summer capital of colonial India, Shimla’s mall road is one of the lengthiest shopping hubs in entire India. Shimla is perennially cool. Cool climes, pine and deodar rich hills, romantic walking trails et all. Other famous places to visit apart from mall road are: Christ Church, Shimla Ridge, Tara Devi Temple and Summer Hills town.

2.      Dalhousie

This hilly area is named after former Viceroy Lord Dalhousie. If you want to avoid the crowd and hustle bustle usually found in Shimla, this is a great place to spend your holiday. This place is chilly even when the rest of the country is sweating in the heat. Beautiful houses (colonial style) offer spectacular view of the surrounding scenic beauty. Kaltop wildlife sanctuary is a must see, while you are in Dalhousie.

3.      Dhramshala

Dharamshala is surrounded by snowy peaks on three sides and hosted His Holiness Dalai Lama once. It is home to a number of Tibetan refugees and Buddhist monks. This is a sure shot way to gather in insight into the Buddhist way of life.

Other than that, the area offers great trekking opportunities to surrounding hills and is the take-off point for the another beautiful hill station of McLeodGanj. When in Dharamshala, you get to see expansive sloping tea estates. Museums and Temples. If you are a cricket fan, you may be lucky to catch a cricket match in the Dharamshala Cricket Stadium.

So get up, pull up your socks (and other warm clothes) and get set go to the chilly state of Himachal Pradesh !!
