Hadimba Temple in Manali, also known as Dhungri, is one of the most important temples in the region. This four-story wooden temple, supposed to be more than 500 years old, is located in the middle of a forest called the Dhungri Van Vihar. Hence, the name. The temple, constructed in 1533, is dedicated to the demoness Hadimba. According to the Mahabharata, in their wanderings during their exile, Bhima, along with his family, had reached the territory of the demon Hadimb, who ruled these areas. Bhima fell in love with the king’s sister, Hadimba, and was forced to kill Hadimb in order to marry her. They lived together in the valley for about a year after which Bhima left Hadimba to go back to his mother and brothers. Hadimba had a boy-child by Bhima who became a great warrior. Until the child, called Ghototkach, came of ruling age, Hadimba ruled the land wisely and righteously.

Rohtang Pass is quite famous among Ladakh travelers but the unpredictable avalanche and severe climatic conditions make it scary some times. Nonetheless, it had made adventure seekers’ tour of Ladakh mind blowing. A high mountain pass at an elevation of 3978 meters above the sea level, Rohtang is just 51 km from Manali. It is a part of the proud Pir Panjal Range of the mighty Himalayas. It acts as the connecting link between Kullu Valley and Lahaul and Spiti Valley. Being an ancient trade route, it was well maintained by the natives. The generic name of the pass suggests that either the pass was the oldest and the most used pass. With the increase of visitors every year, the fragile mountain ecology will be in threat, environmentalists worry. But the exciting beauty of the mountain terrains seen from the top of the pass is indescribable and flamboyant. The Indian Government started building a tunnel which is 8.5 km long to bypass Rohtang pass in order ...

Strung out along a 12km ridge, with steep forested hillsides falling away in all directions, the Himachal capital is one of India's most popular hill resorts, buzzing with a happy flow of heat-escaping Indian vacationers. For some visitors the attraction is perusing a dwindling series of relics from Shimla's previous incarnation as the summer capital of British India. Traffic is banned from the central part of town, so walking is pleasant – even when huffing and puffing uphill. The long, winding main street, The Mall, runs east and west just below the spine of the hill. South of it, the maze-like alleys and stairways of the bustling bazaar cascade steeply down to traffic-infested Cart Rd. From mid-July to mid-September Shimla is frequently wreathed in cloud, and from January it often gets a carpeting of snow. November is cold but clear with a distant horizon of Himalayan peaks sometimes visible from The Ridge.
