Tourists
looking to discover the history of this beautiful
region are treated to a truly authentic glimpse of
a bygone era. The princely states of the past conjure
images of opulent pageantry, imposing royal durbars,
grandly decorated elephants and stately cavalry marches.
Even today, as since
times immemorial, the temples of Hindu Gods and Goddesses
draw miles-long throngs of religious pilgrims who
enchant and enthrall visitors with their devotional
hymns and their colorful rituals.
During
the Raj, the British added several embellishments
to HP and have left behind the adorable gems of Simla,
Dalhousie and Dharamsala for everyone to admire. While
modernization and construction may have lessened their
original beauty, the surrounding valleys and hills
are still pristine.
