Himachal Pradesh / India

Nahan and Renuka

For the weekend you were going to spend indoors again.

Two walkers on a narrow green Himalayan ridge with cloud sitting below them
  • 2.5 hrs out
  • Easy. Mostly sitting and talking.
  • October to March. Summer here is hot and flat feeling.

For the version of you who has not called their friend in months.

Why we like it

Nobody goes here to be seen, so the pressure to perform a trip disappears. It is a good place to have a long conversation and not much else.

What to skip

The zoo. It is grim and it will flatten the mood.

One thing before you leave

Leave early enough to eat lunch on the road rather than at the destination.

Who should not go

If you want scenery that photographs well, this is not the trip. This one is about company.

What we are not hiding

Limited good stays, so book ahead. The lake road is narrow and dark after sunset.

People who went

What are you still thinking about?

Empty

Nobody has filed a report from here yet

We publish trip reports only from people who actually went, in their words, once they are back. This one is still empty and we would rather say so.

File a trip report

Been? Tell us what you are still thinking about.

No ratings out of five. No review of the bedsheets. One honest paragraph about what stayed with you after you got home.

Would you go back?

Still deciding?

Tell us how much time you have, who is coming and what you need more of. We will give you three places, with reasons.
