There is a lot to offer on this Himachal cab package. An overview of the tour will aid in a better understanding of the road trip.
What places are covered in this rental car tour?
- Shimla: the queen of hills would be the first place to land upon. Famous for its temples like Jakhu temple and Sankat Mochan temple, this hill site has much more to appease you.
- Manali: who hasn’t heard about the beauty of Manali? Nestled in the Kullu Valley, Rohtang Pass and Solang Valley attract everyone with their unimaginable snowy landscapes.
- Dharamshala: Resident of his holiness Dalai Lama and many exiled monks, the place has meditation infused in its air. On the other hand, watching a cricket match at the HPCA stadium enthuses many cricket lovers.
- Dalhousie: I know it excites many people because of the mini-Switzerland located near the town. Of course, it should. Khajjar is worth the ‘nickname.’
- Amritsar: I need not explain in detail why this place is famous. Mentioning the name ‘golden temple’ is enough!
