Located in the Himalayas, in the city of Jammu & Kashmir is Leh, which is culturally, historically and geographically linked to Kashmir and Tibet by trading routes. This town successfully manages to retain its multicultural flavor and medieval charm. A strong influence of Buddhism is seen everywhere. Its strong Tibetan ties, and rugged, undulating mountains make it getting to Leh quite a challenge, however it’s worth the effort. For the thrill seekers, there are various trekking routes that you can take up and enjoy exploring here. Camping and white-water rafting is another plus and equally very popular. A few places worth checking out here include the Leh Palace, monasteries, the war museum, the Buddhist complex of the Shanti Stupa, Namgyal Tsemo Gompa as well as the main city bazaar. The Leh hotels are pretty decent and will offer you most of the basic facilities and services at nominal rates.
Moving down about 739.1 kms below from Leh, is another beautiful hill station named Kasauli. Beautiful chestnut trees, houses with fabulous frontage, little gardens around everywhere and cobbled streets make Kasauli a paradise of a hill station. For the people who love peace and solitude, Kasauli should definitely be on their ‘to-visit’ list. Long walks, treks, lazing around and soaking up some sun are some small experiences that you can enjoy here. Located in Himachal Pradesh, there are a few Kasauli hotels and a lot of them have undergone renovation. Thus it’s important to pre-book a hotel here even if you’re heading here during the off season. Activities like camping and paragliding can also be enjoyed in Kasauli.
A break to Kasauli and Leh would be a well deserved holiday !
