    Long been a honeymoon paradise, the capital city is quaint and very picturesque. The cool climes in the summer months are a welcome relief and the snowy cold months provide for plenty of winter activity.

    Some of the attractions within the city include the Jakhu Temple, Christ Church, Viceregal Lodge and a stroll on Mall road. The hilly terrain also offers plenty of trekking opportunities and in the winters there’s ice skating as well.

    Getting there: Travellers can fly in to either Jubbarhatti airport or Chandigarh (approx 120 km), with the latter having more frequent options.

    The nearest train station is at Kalka, which has trains coming in from Delhi.

    From Kalka, travellers can either take the narrow gauge train to Shimla (which is a very scenic ride) and then travel the last leg by road, or catch a bus or taxi from Kalka straight to Shimla (approx 100 km).

    One of India’s prettiest hill stations, Manali has long been a honeymooner’s paradise. But the little town nestled in the mighty Himalayas offers plenty of entertainment for adventure seekers.

    The Beas river has whitewater rafting and there’s skiing, trekking, paragliding and zorbing to be done all along the hilly terrain nearby.

    Rohtang Pass has mesmerising views of the great mountains, the Vashisht hot water springs has bathhouses for visitors to soak in the bubbling water and then there are large and small waterfalls at short drives all around Manali. So make sure you pack your outdoor gear.

    Getting there: By road, the easiest way is to hop into a bust or taxi at Delhi (about 550 km away).

    The town does not have an airport or railhead, the closest being the Bhuntar Airport (50 km away) with flights coming in from Delhi and some from Chandigarh, and the railheads at Ambala Cantonment or Chandigarh roughly about 250 km away, trains starting from Delhi.
