The color-full Dusshera celebration in the Kullu Valley is one of the high points of this journey (in October), but by far not the only one. This tour takes you through some of the best known “Hill Stations “of the British Raj. It is a feast for both the culturally & spiritually inclines with the blend of nature. The starting point is “old British hill stations" Shimla - today capital of province of Himachal Pradesh.
Tour onwards to the beautiful & serene valley of Kullu & Manali. The Dusshera festival here is legendary, which celebrates the war of good over evil. Proceed onwards to Dharamsala, which is well known for it being the headquarters of the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan government-in-exile, as well as it being the center of the Tibetan Buddhism in India. In the picture post card vale of Dalhousie you get to see some ancient Hindu temples. The journey ends to the city in Amritsar, with the Golden temple – the seat of Sikhism.
