And that is where the “Land of Snow,” or Himachal Pradesh, comes in, like a dream. With its charming hill stations, meadows, valleys covered with pine trees, and sparkling rivers, the state is a very emotional, if not the only, destination for those who adore mountains.
If you are still thinking about the best places to visit in Himachal during June, then this comprehensive guide prepared by India Travel DMC will accompany you to the most picturesque hill stations in Himachal Pradesh, which are perfect for summer vacations, honeymoon trips, and adventure-filled getaways.
Regardless of whether you want to have a cup of tea on a balcony with a view of the snow-capped mountains, walk through apple orchards, or just fill your lungs with fresh mountain air—Himachal offers all these.
