Himachal Pradesh is a storehouse of numerous wonderful hill stations, which act best as summer resorts. Shimla and Manali, are a few hill stations that offer breathtaking scenery. Dharmasala, where the Dalai Lama lives, is another important centre on the tourist map.
This region is wrapped in snow almost the whole year round. Many parts of the state have a distinctly Austrian look with conifer-clad mountains, chalet-like huts with overhanging balconies and serene blue valleys watered by snow-fed streams. Shimla, the capital of Himachal Pradesh, still maintains the look and feel of a British township.

Festivals: Kulu Dussehra festival is held just after Dussehra is celebrated in other parts of the country. Colourful procession of the devotees, bearing magnificent images of gods and goddesses, move towards Kullu from all parts of the valley. Homage is paid to Lord Raghunath on the first day. Rituals, graceful Natti dances and folk songs are performed over the remaining nine days. As part of the festival, traders from all over the valley set up temporary stalls, where woolen shawls, caps, blankets, pullan  (traditional footwear made from plant fibre and goat hair) and other interesting articles are displayed. This is the best time to see the crafts of the Kullu Valley.
