Himachal Pradesh

MANALI - Plentiful snowfall has turned this picturesque resort town in Kullu valley into a paradise for skiers visiting from across the globe.

MANALI - Bored with your weekend bouts of cricket and football? Pack your skiing gear and head to Himachal for some adventure sports as the snow-covered Solang slopes near here are ready for you.

DHARAMSALA - Tenzin Norzon, the 23-year-old Varanasi girl was crowned Miss Tibet 2010 at the event organized at the Tibetan Institute of Performing Arts (TIPA).

DHARAMSALA - It's called Common Ground Caf and true to its name it aims to serve as a bridge between the Tibetans and the Chinese - spicing things up with Taiwanese, Tibetan and Chinese cuisine and cups of coffee and tea! Just like the 100-metre uphill walk from Mcleodganj's congested main square on a completely broken road, this initiative to provide a common platform to the Chinese and Tibetans in exile is not going to be easy either.

KEYLONG - It's icy cold here.
