Ever been to Himachal?
Yes? Good!
You think you have seen it all? Spiti? Kheer Ganga? Kasol? Kasauli? Rohtang? Is there anything more about Himachal?
There is a lot more to Himachal, infact what you have seen is just an infinitesimal small part of the mysterious wonderland called Himachal.
We will compile all that info in one single page to help you take a virtual tour of #UnforgettableHimachal first and when your feet start itching to head into the unknown yourself, this page will serve as your one stop solution.

Tower Temples of Himachal
Massive structures of wood and stone rising as high as 45 meters above the ground. As many as 15 of them in the Kullu Mandi and Kinnaur region. These are the tower temples of Himachal, primarily built as a defensive structure. The Seraj Region of Himachal, comprising of parts of Mandi, Kullu, and Shimla, is exclusively known for its wood-workers and such tower temples.

NEED GUIDANCE IN SHRIKHAND MAHADEV TREK AND MANIMAHESH TREK
STARTING 18TH JULY FROM SHIMLA
Hello tarun ji, we are planning to do twin kailash yatra (kinnaur and shrikhand Mahadev ) in the month of June. Can you please suggest some local travel agents to help us out. Thank you.
I don’t think it is a good idea to plan Srikhand or Kinnaur Kailash in June. That’s a bit technical and risky. If at all you want to go, you should go in July and August.
You may try Rachho Trekkers or Sonu Negi for such services. You’ll find his email id/ phone number on Google.
Though J haven’t used his services but he is an online acquaintance.
