The "Abode of Snow" & Beyond
Far from the Delhi's bustle, the pine-scented air and breathtaking landscapes of the Himalayas (the "Abode of Snow" in Sanskrit) and her foothills are surprisingly close - some a matter of hours from the capital. Rishikesh and Haridwar balance the sacred and sportive on the Ganges, while Corbett's tigers attract nature lovers from around the world.
In Shimla, a colonial storybook setting comes to life, whereas in Dharamshala, the mountains and monasteries testify to the immense natural and spiritual significance of this region.
