Overview
Himachal Pradesh is known for its mix of adventure, spirituality, and laid-back mountain life. From snow-covered valleys to riverside cafés and forest hikes, it’s a state that offers something for every kind of traveler.
The best way to begin exploring Himachal is from Kasol, a well-connected town in the Parvati Valley that’s accessible via road from Delhi and Chandigarh. Starting here makes sense—it’s low on altitude stress, high on vibe, and gives you a soft landing into mountain life.
You’ll kick off the trip with a scenic hike to Chalal, explore local markets and cafés, and celebrate Christmas with bonfire, music, cake, and food—all in the heart of the valley.
From Kasol, the route takes you deeper into Himachal’s variety—Manikaran’s hot springs, Solang’s adventure sports, and Jibhi’s quiet charm. You’ll visit temples, hike to lakes, and even paraglide from Bir-Billing, the second-highest takeoff point in the world.
The trip ends in McLeodganj, where Tibetan culture meets mountain cafés, and you’ll ring in the New Year with bonfire, music, and snacks. The itinerary is designed to balance movement with downtime, giving you space to explore, chill, and connect with the places you visit.
Traveling with JustWravel means you don’t have to worry about the logistics. Whether you’re coming solo or with friends, our backpacking-style community trips are built for connection and ease.
You’ll stay in top-notch accommodations, travel in comfortable vehicles, and be guided by an experienced Trip Captain who knows the terrain. We include local immersive activities, adventure experiences, and community bonding sessions to make the journey more engaging. There’s medical and mechanical backup throughout, so you can focus on the experience, not the stress.

Must-Visit Attractions in Manali
Manali is one of Himachal’s most versatile destinations, making it a top choice for a Manali trip. Whether you're into adventure, culture, or just want to unwind in the mountains, Manali has it all.
Start with the Hadimba Temple, a 500-year-old wooden shrine surrounded by deodar trees—perfect for a quiet moment and some great photos. Then head to Old Manali, where riverside cafés serve everything from Israeli platters to Himalayan teas.
Mall Road is ideal for shopping local woolens, souvenirs, and street eats. For thrill-seekers, Solang Valley offers ziplining, ATV rides, zorbing, and even paragliding depending on the season.

Paragliding in Bir Billing
Bir Billing is the undisputed paragliding capital of India, offering an adrenaline rush against the backdrop of serene Himalayan landscapes. Located just a few hours from Mcleodganj, the Bir Mcleodganj route is a scenic drive that connects two of Himachal’s most iconic destinations.
Many travelers plan their Mcleodganj trip to include both trekking and flying, making for a truly dynamic itinerary. Billing, the take-off site, sits at an altitude of 2,400 meters, while Bir, the landing site, lies in a lush valley surrounded by monasteries and pine forests.
Tandem paragliding flights here are conducted by certified pilots, making it safe even for first-timers. The experience of soaring above the Kangra Valley, with the wind in your hair and the mountains beneath your feet, is nothing short of surreal.
Packages often include transport, safety gear, and video recordings of your flight. For those coming from the Mcleod Triund trek, paragliding in Bir Billing offers a thrilling contrast to the grounded serenity of hiking. It’s the perfect way to cap off a journey that spans both earth and sky.
Must-Visit Places in Mcleodganj
Mcleodganj, often called “Little Lhasa,” is a vibrant blend of Tibetan culture, spiritual depth, and Himalayan beauty. A Mcleodganj trip is not just a getaway—it’s a journey into mindfulness, history, and adventure.
The town is home to the Dalai Lama Temple complex, where chants and prayer wheels create an atmosphere of peace. Nearby, the Tibetan Museum offers a poignant look into the Tibetan diaspora and its resilience.
Nature lovers are drawn to Bhagsu Waterfall and the surrounding trails, while spiritual seekers find solace in St. John in the Wilderness Church, nestled among deodar trees. The bustling local market is a treasure trove of handicrafts, prayer flags, and handmade jewelry.
But the crown jewel of any Mcleodganj itinerary is the Mcleodganj to Triund trek. This scenic trail winds through oak and rhododendron forests, culminating in breathtaking views of the Dhauladhar range. Many travelers combine this with a visit to Bir Mcleodganj, creating a circuit that blends trekking, paragliding, and cultural immersion.
