Dalhousie is refreshingly less crowded than Shimla and Manali, and the surrounding Chamba Valley is a lesser-explored area of Himachal Pradesh. If you're after spectacular views, then Dalhousie is the place to find them. Spread over five hills at foot of the Dhauladhar mountain range, the town gets its name from founder Lord Dalhousie. It bares the distinct stamp of the British Raj with 19th-century churches and hotels reminiscent of that era.

If you're interested in pottery or art, don't miss quaint Andretta village, a 20 minute drive from Palampur in the Kangra District of Himachal Pradesh. The village is said to have been established in the 1920s by Irish playwright Norah Richards, who lived there during the Partition and is credited with the rise of Punjabi theater. Later, noted potter Gurucharan Singh (who started Delhi Blue Pottery), and painter Sobha Singh (who was known for his Sikh religious paintings), settled there. The Sobha Singh Art Gallery, housed in the building where he lived, showcases his paintings and personal belongings. The mud-plastered cottage belonging to Norah Richards is another attraction.

Andretta Pottery and Craft Society, a pottery production center, offers three month pottery classes for serious students . Alternatively, you can try your hand at the pottery wheel and get a casual lesson. The Society apparently sells its rangoli-patterned earthenware to FabIndia in Delhi.

Andretta can be visited on a day trip from Dharamsala or Palampur. Otherwise, The Mirage is a delightful, arty place to stay there.

Bir-Billing

Go past the turnoff to Andretta from Palampur and you'll reach one of the world's best paragliding destinations at the twin towns of Bir and Billing. The 2015 Paragliding World Cup was held there, for the first time in India, in October 2015. The peak paragliding season runs from March to May and October to November. Billing Valley Adventures and Billing Adventures of Himachal  offer paragliding, trekking, and camping. Other attractions are tea gardens and monasteries. Serene Palpung Sherabling Monastery offers periodic courses in Buddhist meditation and philosophy. Deer Park Institute provides accommodations along with courses on Buddhist and Indian philosophy. Don't miss visiting the groovy 4Tables Project cafe and art gallery in Gunehar village near Bir. They now rent out gorgeous rooms too! Guided walks in the area can be arranged.

Rudyard Kipling described Spiti as a world within a world. This remote, high altitude area of Himachal Pradesh is tucked away against the border of Ladakh and Tibet. It's only been open to foreign tourists since 1991, and still remains relatively unexplored. Part of this is due to Spiti being barren alpine desert that's covered in heavy snow for a high proportion of the year. Getting to Spiti involves a long drive, most popularly from Manali. The constantly evolving scenery is unforgettable and well worth the journey though. Plan your trip with our comprehensive Spiti travel guide and see spectacular photos of the Spiti Valley .

Great Himalayan National Park

The Great Himalayan National Park, in the Kullu District of Himachal Pradesh, became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2014. The park has four valleys and covers about 900 square kilometers. Its remote, rugged and untamed terrain makes it sought after by trekkers but only the fittest and most adventurous reach deep inside the core area. There are several trekking routes , ranging from three to eight days, with treks between the spectacular Tirthan and Sainj valleys being popular. In addition, less strenuous day walks exist in the park's Ecozone buffer area, frequented by day trippers. It's possible to go on tours to interact with the villagers and learn about their activities.

Ecotourism company Sunshine Himalayan Adventures has partnered with Biodiversity Tourism and Community Advancement (a community-based organization, comprised of local villagers) to offer treks and tours. Permits are required for treks. Indians must pay a park entry fee of 50 rupees per day, and foreigners 200 rupees per day. It's free to enter the Ecozone.

Raju's Cottage , a renowned homestay in Gushaini on the periphery of the park, is an ideal base or stopover. You'll need to book well in advance though!

Jibhi Valley

Ex-Army man Bhagwan Singh Rana pioneered tourism in the Jibhi Valley , about an hour from the Great Himalayan National Park and three hours south of Manali on the road to Delhi. (Aut and Banjar are the closest towns). However, tourism didn't really take off there until after 2008, when the Himachal Pradesh government launched a homestay scheme. Jibhi is the perfect spot to slow down, adopt a healthy lifestyle, and immerse yourself in nature. Stay at Bhagwan Singh Rana's Doli Guesthouse or Swiss Cottages . Activities include day hikes and treks, organic farming, and meditation.

Himalayan Golden Triangle (Thanedhar, Sangla and Sojha)

This off-beat circuit, actively promoted by Banjara Camps , attracts outdoor enthusiasts who want to enjoy nature away from touristy areas. It starts in the heart of Himachal Pradesh's apple country, in Thanedhar (around two hours from Shimla), where you can stay at Banjara Orchard Retreat. The Sangla Valley is located 9,000 feet above sea level in Kinnaur District, close to the Tibetan border, and offers trout fishing and trekking (including glacier trekking in March and April). You can also visit Chitkul village, the last village on the old Indo-Tibetan trade route. Sojha links the Kullu and Shimla districts, and provides more opportunities to venture into the wild mountainous countryside.

Himachal Pradesh

With spectacular snowy peaks and plunging river valleys, beautiful Himachal is India’s outdoor adventure playground. From trekking and climbing to rafting, paragliding and skiing, if it can be done in the mountains, it can be done here. A convoluted topography of interlocking mountain chains also makes Himachal a spectacular place simply to explore, by bus, car, motorbike, jeep or foot. Every pass crossing into a new valley brings you into a different culture, with its own deities and language. Villages perched on staggering slopes enchant with fairy-tale architecture and residents' easygoing warmth. Hill stations appeal with a holiday atmosphere, while backpacker magnets lure with chilled-out vibes and mountain beauty. In the Dalai Lama's home-away-from-home, McLeod Ganj, or in remote Lahaul and Spiti with their centuries-old Buddhist cultures, you might wonder whether you've inadvertently stumbled into Tibet.

The ball picks up the pace and plummets down to the foot of the hill at enormous speed.

Although it might sound a bit daunting, zorbing is a safe adventure activity as the entire time you’re in the orb, you do not budge from your position. The orb rarely meanders from its predetermined pathway, but on the off chance you do crash into a tree or rock, you simply bounce back, and the joyride continues.

8. Mountain Biking in Spiti Valley A Thrilling Adventure

This adventure takes you through challenging terrains, across pristine rivers, and immerses you in unique cultural encounters. Here’s what you need to know to embark on a mountain biking adventure in the heart of Spiti Valley.

Challenging Terrains

Spiti Valley is renowned for its dramatic landscapes and varying terrains, making it a paradise for mountain biking enthusiasts. The trails range from gentle slopes to steep ascents, rocky pathways to dusty tracks. As you pedal your way through these terrains, you’ll encounter breathtaking vistas of snow-capped peaks, high-altitude deserts, and lush green valleys.

River Crossings

One of the unique features of mountain biking in Spiti Valley is the opportunity to cross pristine rivers and streams. The region is crisscrossed by glacial rivers, and you’ll find yourself navigating these water bodies, which can be both exciting and challenging.

Best Time to Visit

The best time for mountain biking in Spiti Valley is during the summer months, from June to September, when the weather is relatively mild, and most of the trails are accessible. Winter is extremely harsh, with heavy snowfall and sub-zero temperatures, making it unsuitable for biking.

9.  Caving in the Guano Hills

These caves are like hidden treasure troves, filled with intriguing formations, narrow passages, and chambers that will have you feeling like Indiana Jones in no time. Talk about an adventure!

Now, here’s the deal: when it comes to caving, you wanna hook up with experienced guides who know their way around these underground mazes. Safety first, ladies! These guides will not only make sure you don’t end up stuck in a tight spot, but they’ll also drop some knowledge bombs about the geological and historical aspects of the caves.

Before you jump headfirst into the darkness, make sure you gear up like a boss. Get yourself a helmet with a freakin’ light source, sturdy shoes that can handle some serious spelunking, and comfortable clothing that won’t hold you back. And hey, depending on how wild and complex these caves are, you might need some extra safety equipment. You can never be too prepared when it comes to conquering the underworld!

The Guano Hills aren’t just for seasoned cave warriors, my friend. These caves cater to all skill levels, from beginners who’ve never set foot in a cave to experienced cavers who practically live underground. Just make sure you communicate your level of experience to the guides, so they can tailor the expedition to your badass abilities.

Now, let’s talk timing, ’cause you don’t wanna be caught in a cave during a raging monsoon. While you can explore these caves throughout the year, it’s essential to consider the friggin’ weather. Summer months (March to June) are generally more comfortable, but if you wanna avoid water-based challenges, aim for drier periods.

And don’t forget, my fearless friend, that there’s more to the region than just caves. When you’re in the area, check out the Solang Valley, Rohtang Pass, and the vibrant markets of Old Manali.

Oh, and when it comes to accommodations in Manali, you’ve got options. From budget guesthouses to luxurious resorts fit for a queen, you can find a place to crash and recharge those badass cave-exploring batteries. Just remember to book in advance, especially when all the other adventure seekers are flooding in during peak tourist seasons.

Caving in the Guano Hills near Manali isn’t just about cramped spaces and mysterious formations. It’s about conquering the unknown, diving into the underground world, and discovering the beauty and mystery that lies beneath the surface. Always prioritize safety and trust the experienced caving professionals to guide you on this epic subterranean journey.

How to Reach Himachal Pradesh

By air:  .

Being a popular tourist destination in India, Himachal Pradesh is fairly well connected to the metropolitan cities of the country. if you want to see adventure activities in Himachal Pradesh; follow my instructions. The state has three domestic airports, namely Kangra Airport (Gaggal), Kullu-Manali Airport (Bhuntar), and Shimla Airport (Jubbarhatti). The airports are connected to cities such as Chandigarh, Delhi, and Kolkata, making them easily accessible. Cabs, jeeps, and buses are available in abundance from these airports, making travel to different parts of the state easy and hassle-free.

By train:  

Railways are not very well-established in the state owing to the rugged mountainous terrain. The Kangra Valley Railway, which runs from Pathankot in Punjab to Joginder Nagar in Himachal, is the most prominent railway line in the region. The journey takes approximately 8 hours. If the capital city of Himachal is your destination, then there is no alternative to the Kalka-Shimla toy train. This toy train facility is immensely popular and has also been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The 60-mile journey takes you through a route so scenic and otherworldly that the six-hour ride will feel like mere minutes.

By road:  

A road journey is always preferred when it comes to getting to hill stations, and Himachal is no exception. The roads are well-connected to the major cities of India and remain diurnally busy. The state has 8 national highways and an intricate state highway system that will help you reach even the most remote and secluded regions of Himachal. Although jeeps are the chosen mode of transport for ease of traveling, luxury buses also make for the perfect ride if you’re working around a tight budget. 

Some Basic Tips for Adventure Tourism 

Adventure tourism requires some pre-planning if you want the trip to see the adventure activities in Himachal Pradesh. Here are some essential tips to keep in mind before you make a beeline for Himachal Pradesh.

• Do your research. Talk to your tour operator if you have a doubt. Make sure you have a properly chalked-out plan.
• Adventure sports are unpredictable; make sure you only opt for reputable organizations. Ask them for safety certifications and licenses. Read through their reviews and talk to the locals. It’s always better to be safe than sorry.
• Adventure sports do not come at a throwaway price. Do not be swindled by too-good-to-be-true advertisements online. Book in advance to avoid the surge in prices.
• Pack based on the adventure sports you’re opting for. adventure activities in Himachal Pradesh like camping or trekking will require you to carry quite a few essentials, while with Zorbing, you need not worry about carrying too many things.
• Adventure sports are best enjoyed by individuals who are in the prime of their lives. If you’re feeling under the weather, have complicated medical conditions, or currently recovering from a malady, adventure tourism isn’t the wisest route for you.

There is much to do in the hills of Himachal Pradesh if adventure is what you’re seeking. It might take a little bit of courage to do some of these extreme sports, but the experience, joy, and memories will be well worth it.
