Himachal Pradesh is well known for its breathtaking landscapes, including snow-capped mountains, lush green forests, and rushing rivers and streams. It is one of the much-loved vacation spots for those who enjoy hiking and are seeking a peaceful retreat. Places like Shimla, Manali, and Kullu are often filled with tourists. However, this state has some beautiful villages that will help you escape from the hustle-bustle of city life.
Nako: A lakeside hamlet with clean mountain air that is situated on the border between India and China. Any time of year is an excellent time to visit this place, but one should visit it during winters as the surroundings are particularly magical. The mountains are covered in snow. In the summer, visitors can go boating on Nako Lake, and in the winter, when the lake’s surface is icy, they can go ice skating.

You can trek to Key Gompa, the largest monastery in the Spiti Valley, which is only four kilometers away. There are guesthouses and homestay alternatives in the area. You can visit Kibber only from June to October.
