There’s nothing more enticing than an adventurous holiday to the Himalayas. The surreal landscapes, beautiful valleys, and endless hilltops will surely exceed your expectations. Travelers will have at their disposal plenty of activities to try out like rock climbing, hiking, rafting, trekking, and more. Everything depends on the location, so whether you’re exploring Dhauladhar, the glacial lakes of Manali’s Beas Kund or Kinnaur Kailash, it’s good to know that the Himalayan range will offer unforgettable experiences to vacationers searching for a supreme combination of exotic adventures. 
Trekking the Dhauladhar range
Also known as “The White Range” of the Himalayas, Dhauladhar is positioned on the south side of the outer chain. It rises majestically from the beautiful Indian plains to the north side of Mandi and Kangra, and it offers mind-blowing landscapes of the surrounding area. Featuring a rather peculiar topography, Dhauladhar is mostly made of granite. Yet, the sandstone and limestone formations might interfere with your trekking session.
Considering the harsh conditions, habitation in the area is limited. If you’re looking to benefit from an unforgettable experience to the Himalayas, venturing to the virgin peaks should be your ultimate goal. Some of Dhauladhar’s most famous peaks are Mun with 4610m and Manimahesh Kailash with 6638m.
Visiting the Land of Gods – Kinnaur Kailash
With a height of 6050 m, Kinnaur Kailash is a sacred place in the Himalayas, and the winter home of Lord Shiva. Trekking in the area begins in July and ends in August, so if you’re interested to know more about the natural surroundings, make sure to have that timeframe in mind.
Kinnaur was once a forbidden land for the people, and not many outsiders were allowed to cross its paths. The hidden territory is now open to the world, so if you happen to be in the area you cannot leave without having explored the stunning Sangla Valley and its abundant flora of peaches, apples, and apricots. Extend your trek to Hangrang Valley, which is the never-ending portrait of Mother Nature and an exquisite place to cross on your travel list prior to moving on with your journey.
The wonders of Beas Kund in Manali
Beas Kund is one of the most incredible trekking paths of the Indian Himalayan chain in Himachal. Featuring superb views of Hanuman Tibba Peak and Friends Peak, the path highlights incredible landscapes and surreal vegetation. If you’re choosing to enjoy the adventure throughout the winter season, you’ll come across Solang Valley, an extremely popular ski resort any visitor to Manali should take into account. Most trekking trails in the area originate from Lake Beas Kund, the base for adventurous climbing peaks such as Landakhi and numerous other spots.
A well-deserved visit to Himachal Pradesh
Nested in the rugged peaks of Himalaya’s western side, Himachal Pradesh is home to thousands of avid travelers who come here to look for incredible diversity. The lofty hill stations, rolling foothills, serene pine forests, and madcap towns, make this area a heaven for those who want to benefit from unforgettable experiences.
The aura of the mountains is overwhelming, and the setting is the best spot for adventure travelers ready to try out the myriad of activities. Starting from skiing, trekking, and rafting, exploring Himachal Pradesh will leave you speechless. There are various Buddhist monasteries nearly in Spiti and Lahaul if you want to get in touch with the spiritual side of the place. McLeod Ganj for example, is a bustling traveler center and the home to the Tibetan government in cast out and to the Dalai Lama.
The heart of Himachal, namely Kullu Valley and Manali, offer plenty of engaging activities for thrill seekers, hippies, and honeymooners. The lower hills boast with palaces, temples, castles and forts in case you’re interested to know more about the cultural aspect of the region.
Venturing the Himalayan chain for an adventurous excursion is a chance of a lifetime. It’s not like you get to see such never-ending mountain peaks on a daily basis. Whether you’re preparing yourself for the ultimate exotic Asian holiday or you want to venture out in the wild for a trekking session, the Himalayas will certainly exceed your expectations with their abundant vegetation, limitless landscapes, and mind-blowing scenery.
