Nestled in the Indian Himalayas, Shimla and Manali are two of the most cherished mountain getaways. Shimla charms with colonial architecture, pine forests and lively bazaars along the Mall Road. Manali, surrounded by snow-capped peaks and rivers, attracts both adventure seekers and those in search of peace. Together they offer opportunities for trekking, skiing, rafting and quiet spiritual retreats in monasteries and temples. The crisp mountain air and scenic beauty make these destinations perfect for relaxation and rejuvenation.
