Product Description

Includes FREE planning and background information. From forested valleys to mountain passes, and Buddhist monasteries to the Dalai Lama-s residence, few Indian states match Himachal Pradesh for diversity and mind-blowing scenery. Many regard this as India-s premier mountain state: awesome but accessible, a place where you can trek for days over high-altitude passes but then relax with a beer at one of the busy traveller towns. The mighty peaks of the Dhauladhar, Pir Panjal and western Himalaya ranges rise above Himachal, providing a setting for a host of adventure activities. Many are drawn here purely for the Tibetan Buddhist culture and head straight to the traveller centre of McLeod Ganj, home to the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan government in exile.
