Geography

Getting to know Himachal Pradesh

Himachal Pradesh rises through the western Himalayas from the low Shivalik foothills to the high, arid Spiti Valley on the Tibetan plateau's edge. Former British hill stations like Shimla and Dharamshala sit amid pine forests and apple orchards, while Manali and Kullu open onto valleys used for trekking and adventure sport, and Spiti offers a stark, monastery-dotted trans-Himalayan landscape.
