Places less visited of Himachal.
Himachal pradesh is the most visited tourist place in India. This North Indian state is full of natural beauty and also preferred for sightseeing and other adventure activities for the tourists. Himachal Pradesh is a beautiful place with ever flowing rivers, valleys, beautiful temples and lush green areas with picturesque Landscapes. Best place to relax, adventures activities and have fun with friends. This is a perfect place for people who love nature.
There many famous tourist destinations like shimla, Manali, Kullu, Dalhousie.
But i will talk about some destinations which are not so famous, but off course beautiful ones. Here are some off beat places that I have loved to explore in Himachal.
Lahual and Spiti
The two districts Lahual and Spiti were merged into one district recently in 1960. After the merger, Kaza became the regional headquarter of Spiti and Keylong the regional headquarters of Lahaul.Rohtang Pass is the gateway into Lahual and Spiti, while Kunzum la or the Kunzum Pass is the entree way into Spiti Valley from Lahaul. The two valleys are distinctive from each other with Spiti having harder terrain than Lahaul. Here are 2 top destinations to visit in Lahual and Spiti.Me and my friends trekked through Spiti and the experience was wonderful. We crossed through Kaza, Langza, Komik, Demul, Lhalung and Dhankar. Each and every of these places are fabulous. It was the high altitude trek I completed successfully. Spiti is one of those places where I surely want to go back.
Jagatsukh
I stayed with my friends we know at Jagat Sukh but there are home stays around as well. Prini has a few bigger hotels I clearly remember seeing Holiday Inn there. Both Prini and Jagat Sukh are as scenic as Manali but minus the crowds.
Prashar Lake
Prashar Lake is an absolutely gorgeous lake where hardly anyone goes. On the Delhi Manali highway there is a place called Mandi. We took a bus from Mandi and then trekked all the way up to Prashar Lake. The places to stay are forest department guest house or the rooms available behind the temple devoted to Rishi Prashar. I consider Prashar Lake to be one of the best kept secrets of Himachal.
Shringi Vatika
Shringi Vatika is a beautiful little place on the old Manali Shimla highway. There is a beautiful stream that flows through the rocks.
Bharmour
If you are going to Chamba, move a little further and go to Bharmour. It is a sleepy little place with an ancient temple called Chaurasi Temple Compound. We walked further up to Hadsar in December and then the next day partly on the route to the Mani Mahesh Lake.
Kangra Fort
About 20 kms from Dharamshala to reach Kangra town and headed up towards the Kangra fort which is also known as Nagarkot or Kotkangra. The Kangra fort was built by the Katoch dynasty and was founded by Susharma Chand Katoch. The fort dates back to 1009 A.D. It sits atop a hillside with steep drops down to the Banganga river valley difficult to climb. The high ramparts and walls cover a circuit of about 4 kilometers.In the southern side , there are some carved shrines of Lakshmi Narayana Sitala and Ambika devi – the family goddess of Katoch dynasty. In between these shrines, a small stepped passage leads up to the main palace.
Masroor Monolithic Rock cut temples
These Temples are crafted in 8th century, it is a little known world heritage site. About 40 kms from Kangra on the Nagrota Suriyan Link road. A beautiful vista of carved rocks , leaving me awed with its magnificence. Its not a big place, but the entire structure is huge and towering constructed alongside a pool of water and surrounded by the majestic Dhauladhar trees. The temples stood out tall and straight, in one line I could make out Buddha and Ganesha faces cut in the rock face here and there.The shikhars of some of the temples remain standing and are a supreme display of the craftsmen of the 7th -8th century who overcame the limitations of the existing rock structures to shape and carve their creations.
The other less known beautiful destinations of Himacahl are:
The Great Himalayan National Park (GHNP), following the river Tirthan upstream into the park for about 15kms.,Parvati valley, Teerthan valley, Rampur,Kinnaur ,Nako, Tabo
