Himachal Pradesh Tour Packages
The long weekend during this Republic Day saw a major spike in Himachal Pradesh packages. With good snowfall around the time across the Western Himalayas, came winter tourists in big numbers. Winter tourism is steadily picking up due to improved road network and air connectivity led by Alliance Air opening up new routes such as Amritsar-Shimla flight. More awareness of winter activities and ease in hiring equipment is fuelling this growth too. Solang Valley near Manali, the slopes of Dhumri around Narkanda, and Kufri are much sought after during this season. Offering good skiing opportunities along with other snow related activities, these destinations are an attractive proposition. Additionally, the above mentioned destinations in Himachal Pradesh are far easier to reach than the better known skiing hubs in Jammu and Kashmir and Uttarakhand such as Gulmarg and Auli.
Year on year spring, summer and autumn months too are drawing travellers to hitherto remote places of Himachal Pradesh such as Tabo, Sangla, Kalpa and Chitkul. This increase is largely thanks to accessibility. Marked improvement in road conditions in Kinnaur and some parts of Spiti – for example has made Tabo that much closer to travellers driving from Shimla. This along with an urge among travellers to explore newer destinations and seeking more immersive experiences is leading to more travel queries. Together with popular Himachal Pradesh tour packages to Shimla, Manali, and Dharamshala, the more distinctive regions of Kinnaur, Lahaul and Spiti in the higher mountains of the Great Himalaya and trans Himalayan ranges that are home to indigenous or tribal people is attracting both domestic and international travellers alike. Intrepid culture buffs and adventure travellers, especially motor bike expeditions through these regions, are paving the way for tourists as hotel accommodation is steadily increasing.
From a religious tourism perspective too, Himachal Pradesh holiday packages pack attractions galore. Temples such as Hadimba Devi in Manali, Bhimakali in Sarahan and the striking Buddhist monasteries in Dhankar, Kye, and Tabo and the early colonial churches of north India such as the Christ Church in Kasauli, Church of St. John in McLeod Ganj offer a wide variety of experiences. Even for the non-religious traveller, all the above offer architectural and design attractions. Hadimba Devi and Bhimakali Hindu temples are striking in their extensive use of wood as a building material, while drawing from Tibetan Buddhist design traditions. Likewise the monasteries and churches are architectural marvels with Tibetan, Neo-Gothic and multiple other influences.
