Himachal Pradesh |
The state of Himachal Pradesh came into existence with the partition of Punjab and Haryana in 1966. Himachal Pradesh is essentially a mountain state - it takes in the transition zone from the plains to the high Himalayas and, in the trans Himalayan region of Lahaul and Spiti. It's a delightful state for visitors, particularly during the hot season. High points for the visitors include Shimla, which used to be the 'summer capital' of British India and still one of India's most important hill stations. The Kullu Valley is very beautiful - a lush, green valley with the sparkling Beas River running through it and the snowcapped Himalayan peaks forming the background.
