Welcome to the Land of Eternal Snow Peaks!
Himachal Pradesh is a beautiful state located in the northern part of India. The land is dominated by the great Himalayas in the north-east and marked with lower ridges
of the Shivalik ranges in the south-east thus sometimes called a
Mountain State. This “Abode of Snow” covers a total area of 55,673 sq.
km and shares common borders with Jammu & Kashmir on North, Punjab
on West and South-West, Haryana on South, Uttar Pradesh on South-East
and China on the East.
Himachal was inhabited by people 2 million years
ago. The pre-historic people of Himachal lead a simple and quiet life,
tending their orchards, fields and flocks. Hindi is the official state
language and Pahari the principal language. After India’s independence, a
union territory was formed by uniting the hill states around Shimla. Himachal Pradesh was granted the status of a state on January 25, 1971. Shimla is the capital city and is a popular hill station of India.
Himachal
is sometimes referred to as “God’s own Abode”. Dotted with many ancient
temples and monuments, the Himalayan region often called as the
“Magical Showcase of Nature’s Splendor” is a dreamland for visitors.
This Himalayan region is also popular for its winter sports. Courses and
competitions in skiing and mountaineering, carnivals, cultural evenings and many more to chose from…
