About Himachal

The Land of the Gods: Himachal Pradesh is a beautiful hill state in India, nestled in the north-west region of the western Himalayas. The state is landlocked with the Tibetan plateau to the east, Jammu and Kashmir to the north, and the Punjab to the west.

The state stands apart from its neighbours in terms of its sheer topographic diversity and breathtaking pristine natural beauty. From vast tracts of high-altitude Trans-Himalayan desert to dense green deodar forests, from apple orchards to cultivated terraces, and snow-capped mountain ranges.
