Lively
and simply beautiful – Himachal is a dream destination for
travelers looking for unadulterated natural beauty. Snow-covered peaks,
lush green hills, terraced valleys, swift flowing rivers, clear blue
lakes, glaciers, ancient temples and the vivacious, energetic spirit of
its people makes Himachal Pradesh one of the most visited locations in
India.
Hidden within the thick clusters of forest across Himachal is a
spectacular collection of wild life. Thirty-two wildlife sanctuaries and
two national parks harbour a diversity of flora and fauna that
encompasses 64 species of mammals, 44 varieties of mammals, 463 types of
avifauna and 3295 varieties of plants.
The scenic landscapes invite a host of activities like trekking,
mountain climbing, fishing, river rafting, skiing, para gliding,
ice-skating, golfing, zorbing and ballooning, to name a few.
Infrastructure is fairly well developed across Himachal, and Manali and
Shimla have quick access through air, besides excellent connections by
road.
