Hi,

I can help you with India.

Himachal Pradesh, there are many categories of hotels, you can choose from. You need to specify your budget and dates of visit (I mean time of the year). Himachal Pradesh is a holiday destination during summer time even for Indians, hence it is little expensive in summers.

Please specify within Himachal Pradesh where you want to visit and what is your budget and then I can suggest you.

Cheers,
Lucy.

Agree with above. I traveled in HP two yrs ago. What is your budget?

Budget is around $100 per Day

Ok The Judges Court in Pragpur. Wonderful place next to the village of Pragpur. As far as you can get from a "chain " hotel. You may well be the only Westerner there.

Clarkes in Shimla. Wonderful old "raj" era hotel. The first hotel owned by Mr Oberoi, although no longer part of the Oberoi Chain.

McLeod Ganj. Stayed at Chonor House. It was ok but i would probablly try a homestay next time.

Check prices. All three may be more than 100/night now, though they werent in June 2919

Wow Cali! Sounds like you are a time traveler too!

one more question i want to know is it near to some shopping area or its just isolated in between snow mountains?

OOPS . LOL!! Thanks for catching that , LCUY!!!
I meant June 2010. Apologies for the confusion, but not for the laughs!

Steve, Himachal Pradesh is a state in Northern India covering over 21,495 sq miles.

We really need to know where in Himachal Pradesh you plan to visit to be able to answer anything about hotels or shopping areas.
