Shimla has a character of its own. Walk along Mall Road, spend some time around the historic Ridge and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of one of India's best-known hill towns.

Surrounded by forested hills and mountain views, Shimla feels very different from the busy cities of North India. It is a lovely place to slow down, enjoy the cooler air and simply take in the surroundings.

Manali is surrounded by some of Himachal's most memorable scenery, with mountains, rivers, forests and beautiful valleys all close by.

Explore Old Manali, visit local temples, head towards nearby valleys or simply leave some free time to enjoy the mountain atmosphere. Depending on the season and your interests, outdoor and adventure experiences can also be added to the journey.

Dharamshala offers a different side of Himachal, bringing together Himalayan scenery, Tibetan cultural influences, monasteries and a noticeably peaceful atmosphere.

Nearby McLeod Ganj is particularly interesting for travellers who enjoy local culture and spirituality as much as mountain scenery. Spend time exploring at your own pace rather than rushing from one attraction to another.

There is no need to rush through Himachal. You can spend a few relaxing days in one mountain town or combine Shimla, Manali and Dharamshala for a longer Himalayan journey.
