Well, I just want to get a brief highlight of one of the Himalayan areas. I'm not looking to see the whole mountain range, as it is gigantic.
I've heard the name "Himachal Pradesh" thrown around a lot. What do you think? Would this fit in with my itinerary, and how representative of the Himalayas is this area?
