Few places in the world are as diverse in their topography as Himachal Pradesh. With its river flowing through jagged rocks, rich green meadows, and serene lakes surrounded by mountains covered in thick layers of snow, resembling the seven skies above, it truly is like a little slice of heaven on earth. In the grasslands, many flora and fauna flourish in the shelter that the valleys have provided them and you can see many rare wild species like the snow leopard, Himalayan Yak, Musk deer, and many more living in peace in nature. Himachal is the kind of place that immediately lifts your spirits, all you have to do is just be there and breathe in the crisp air. Along with the serenity that it offers, it also provides tons of opportunities for adventure, no matter if they are beginners or experienced in seeking the thrill that these activities have to offer.
On this backpacking trip to Himachal from Delhi, we have handpicked some of the best locations in Himachal Pradesh that you must visit. This 7-day trip to Himachal covers all the desirable destinations that fascinate tourists and adventure enthusiasts alike. From one of the most popular hill stations of our country, Manali, to the small captivating village Kasol which is situated in the Kullu district, this trip is a perfect blend of popular tourist attractions and a peaceful getaway to undiscovered locations. Manali, popularly known as Lover’s Paradise has earned this reputation because of its beautiful views, cool climate, and tons of activities that it provides to people to keep things lively and fun. On this trip, we explore some of the best places to visit in Manali, where we take you on a sightseeing tour to Hadimba Temple, Vashisht Temple, Mall Road, and Cafe hopping in Old Manali to give you a glimpse of what life is like in this township. Our next stop, Solang Valley, is the hotspot for adventure lovers as it provides enthralling activities like paragliding, trekking, mountaineering, ATV Ride, Zipline, and even skiing if the season permits and so much more making it a must-visit for adrenaline junkies. After experiencing the highs of soaring through the sky, you’d be in desperate need of some calm which the small town of Kasol caters to perfectly. The growing popularity of this hill station is because of the plethora of experiences it offers including spiritual awakenings, which is why we’d make sure that you visit the Manikaran temple which is popular for many reasons, one of them being the co-existence of bitterly cold water with boiling water springs on either side of the Parvati river. Gurudwara Manikaran Sahib is also nearby and attracts many Hindu and Sikh devotees every year.
Our next stop, Jibhi, remains an offbeat stay in Himachal because it is yet to be touched and exploited by industrialization and has preserved its vegetation in the form of lush green valleys. It’s also popular for sparkling waterfalls and freshwater lakes which make this place perfect for spending some quality time with a partner or even yourself. It is almost impossible to visit Himachal and suppress the urge to see the view from the top of the summit which is why we organize exciting and easy treks to Jalori Pass & Sirosar Lake. This Manali backpacking trip is curated after keeping all your desires in mind and the trip will take you to some of the best places in Manali, Kasol, and Jibhi so that you can experience the rich culture and heritage of ‘Lands of Gods’ aka Himachal. Now that we have hopefully convinced you, we hope you get to learn all the reasons why you must visit this beautiful state on your own on this backpacking trip.

The place is best known for its natural beauty and serves as a base to explore the rest of Banjar and Tirthan Valleys. The Jibhi Waterfall, The trek to Jalori Pass, and The pristine Serolsar lake are all experiences that one must have when in Himachal. Since it is a completely off-beat destination, it allows travelers to unplug and experience the true essence of peace in the Himalayas which is why Jibhi is an essential part of this Himachal backpacking trip.
Nestled on the banks of the Parvati River, Kasol is a Himalayan hamlet that offers stunning views of snow-capped peaks, sparkling rivers, vibrant culture, Israeli cuisine, and more. It is especially popular among backpackers and also acts as a basecamp for treks like Kheerganga, Malana, Grahan, etc. Not adding Kasol to the itinerary of this Himachal backpacking trip would make travelers lose out on an integral experience that Himachal has to offer.
One can visit Himachal throughout the year to experience all the different palettes that its landscapes have to offer. For snow lovers, the best time to visit is from October to February which is the official snowfall season in Himachal. These months are popular because one can indulge in thrilling snow activities like skiing and snowboarding. One can also visit Himachal from February to June which are considered to be the best months to visit Himachal as the weather is pleasant.

The upper regions such as Rohtang Pass, and Atal Tunnel start to receive snowfall by mid-November and hence slight snow showers can be expected. Solang Valley receives the best snowfall in the months of December and January which is also the best time if you want to go skiing.
Kasol itself doesn’t receive a heavy snowfall as it's situated at a slightly lower altitude when compared to other destinations. But nearby villages like Malana, Tosh, and more get covered in the snow completely in the months of December & January.
Jibhi, which is a tiny hamlet, nestled in the lap of the Himalayas receives the best snowfall by the end of November and remains like that till February.
