Himachal Pradesh is the most loved or should I say every young heart’s dream destination has something special, there is something different in the air that pulls you towards itself and makes you lose your heart in its charming yet soothing vibes.
I feel that the serenity of this hilly region is so pure that once you visit this place, you want to come back again and again because there is always something new waiting for you! One thing that excites me about this destination is the pretty wholesome views, I have always been an admirer of dramatic scenery and whenever you are in Himachal no moment is less than a filmy portrait.
As a travel enthusiast, I have believed that to understand the place’s rich culture and heritage is by immersing yourself by just going local. Living, breathing and savouring yourself just like any other Himachali local. Everyone can be a tourist but very few have that inner spark of being a traveller.
