Beyond Manali and Shimla, my collection of offbeat Himachal experiences to truly discover the state and its hidden treasures.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My first trip to Himachal was when I was 8 years old, Kullu-Manali, like for many others who grew up in Delhi, Haryana or Punjab. I would always ask my dad on the trip \u201cPapa, Pahad kab aayenge?\u2019\u2019. We would just reach the place and explore it at random. The beauty of snow-clad mountains and rolling on the snow in Rohtang in the month of June is the most precious memory I have from my childhood. Many years and many trips later, Himachal hasn\u2019t stopped delighting me with its many treasures. There are 12 fascinating districts in the state and each one has distinct landscape, experience and culture to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is plenty of material online on places like Shimla, Manali, and Spiti in Himachal and many which are getting the spotlight from last couple of years like Tirthan Valley, Jibhi Valley, Kasol, etc. Recent Himachal Pradesh travel guidelines and news of state being overcrowded with tourists, begs for off-the grid experiences and travel locations surrounded by the mighty Himalayas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are a handful of them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find your artsy side in Andretta, Himachal\u2019s hidden pot<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With the backdrop of Dhauladhar ranges, Andretta is a unique intersection of art and nature. The lovely hamlet is home to many Artists Galleries, Potter\u2019s village and more. Immerse yourself into the history and artistic lifestyle of the founder, Norah Richards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
