Himachal Pradesh is not just a place but a feeling for every mountain lover. I pinned my favorite location from Himachal Pradesh i.e. Dharamshala to spend my entire week. Dharamshala known as Little Lhasa of India is a little town marked as an epitome of peace. This place is home to the Buddhist Leader, Dalai Lama and here you can experience the rich Tibetan culture with a view of Dhauladhar Ranges.
