My wife and I will be visiting our hometown in Punjab and during our stay there we would like to spend some time in Himachal Pradesh. We would like some guidance to the places to see in Himachal Pradesh, as there are so many places and destinations to visit we don't even know where to start. We plan to visit Himachal Pradesh for 10 days, so can cover a number of places.
There are many destinations in Himachal Pradesh, do you have a particular distance you want to cover or are you willing to visit destinations which are at a distance as well?
Thanks for responding. No there is no particular distance we have to travel within, we are willing to go as far as need be to visit the destination.
