Tucked away in mountain folds for centuries, this is
one pocket of the world that has both charm and mystery.
Himachal - here lie vistas whose beauty seems matchless
standing against marrows of soft grass, snow-draped peaks
lose their heights in the clouds. Home to warm and hospitable
people preserving their culture and age-old traditions
makes Himachal a worthwhile place to visit.
