Leave behind the hum of air conditioners and the heat migraines. Trade the stifling city summers for the refreshing embrace of cool mountain breeze. May is the ideal month to explore Himachal Pradesh with its rich tradition of folk arts, crafts, dance and architecture. The sprawling hills are also home to some of the most diverse cultural festivals. Here, traditions come alive, with festivals like Shobla Bana<\/a>. But that\u2019s not all. Himachal embraces modernity too, hosting cultural extravaganzas like the Kasauli Rhythm & Blues Music Festival<\/a>, Bir Music Festival<\/a>, Gaia Festival<\/a> and the Old School Festival<\/a>. And if you are looking for the beating heart of Himachal\u2019s cultural pulse, venture into the enchanting districts of Kangra and Kullu, where an array of delights awaits, from music concerts and art galleries to intriguing museums and live pottery studios. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Do<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Nicholas Roerich art gallery<\/strong> near Naggar in Manali, which once served as the residence of the Russian painter Nicholas Roerich, houses paintings of Kullu, Spiti and Lahaul made by the painter. Situated in a stunning landscape surrounded by snow-capped mountains, the gallery is the perfect destination for nature and art lovers alike.\u00a0Founded by Rahul Bhushan, North<\/strong> offers local craft & natural building workshops, artist residencies and also doubles as a homestay.

Located in Dharamshala, Kangra, the Dharamkot Studio<\/strong> is a haven for creative practitioners interested in taking part in art retreats, workshops and courses in ceramic and pottery.\u00a0And if you are looking for the oldest pottery studio in India, then head to Palampur in the Kangra district. At the Andretta Pottery Studio<\/a><\/strong> you can opt for 15 minute pottery lessons, enjoy a fully-guided tour or even take part in a residential course for three months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 21.7 km trail near Kullu, the Kullu-Peej trail<\/strong> is a moderately challenging route, which offers you the chance of engaging in birding, hiking and mountain biking through the rugged landscape. Some of the treks from Parvati Valley<\/strong> include treks to hidden villages like Tosh, Pulga, Chalal, Malana, Rasol village, Grahan and Kalga among many others. Most of these treks include picturesque views of the mountains, walks through forests, sights of fruit orchards and the rural everyday lives of mountain people, setting these trails apart from others.\u00a0But if you are looking for a leaf to cuppa experience, head to the south of Lower Bir to the Chowgan tea gardens <\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expert Recommendations <\/em>by Bir Music Festival<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expert Recommendations by Musicathon<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bir-Billing<\/strong> is the world\u2019s second highest paragliding site. Fly through the sky and witness the most exhilarating bird\u2019s eye view of the beautiful landscape that Bir offers. Tibetan culture is an integral part of Bir and hence there are more than a few monasteries in the vicinity. Spend time with monks, gorge on laphing or just sip some butter tea while reading a book. Recreating the spirit of Nalanda university of ancient days, the Deer Park Institute<\/strong><\/a> is a centre for the study of classical Indian wisdom traditions, such as Indian philosophy, arts and sciences. Besides hosting several programmes on meditation, philosophy, art, culture, yoga and much more, the institute offers several courses in the study of Indian philosophy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to Eat<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Darjeeling Steamers<\/strong><\/a> in Manali is one of the best places to relish dishes like veg keema<\/em> noodles and chicken wings. The Big Bear Farms<\/a><\/strong> in Raison, Himachal is a family-run business which grows, harvests and preserves fruits like strawberries, cherries, peaches, plums and apples, to lesser known varieties such as quince and nectarine. You can find some of the best jams and jellies at this home farm. Located amidst the snowy Dhauladhar mountain ranges, the Northern Cafe<\/a><\/strong> in Bir is the go-to eating spot for hundreds of tourists visiting Bir Billing. They serve a wide range of delectable food, including authentic Himachali cuisines, along with some good music to top it off. Located in Dharamshala, The Other Space<\/a><\/strong> is a small art gallery cafe with a co-working space. It serves nicely cooked sandwiches, ravioli, rolls and chocolate croissants, besides some really great cappuccino and good tea.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expert Recommendations by Musicathon\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the best hot chocolate and iced tea, Gaurav Khushwaha<\/a>, founder-organiser of Musicathon Festival in Bir, recommends Musafir cafe<\/strong>. If you are fond of bakery products, you must try some of the items at Silver Lining cafe. Get some delicious homemade food at Amma di Rasoi,<\/strong> south Indian food at Avva cafe<\/strong>, and top it off with the best sunset views at Charlie\u2019s<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to Shop<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yoshita Crafts Studio<\/strong><\/a> in Kangra is a social trust for rural empowerment in Himachal Pradesh, offering workshops on Kangra weaving, Kangra Pattu weaving and embroidery.

Know Where You Go<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Get Around?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Top Picks for the Season<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kullu: If you want to visit different attractions in Kullu, you can opt for local buses operated by Himalayan Road Transport Corporation (HRTC). Alternatively, you can also hire taxis or even walk on foot through the stunning Kullu landscape, in order to travel locally.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bir: Our next recommended destination is Bir, where you can rent a scooter or a bike from Bir Camps<\/a> or any other innumerable rental services available there. Even though taxis are also available, buses are few and far between in Bir. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dharamshala: The recommended transport option for travelling in and around Dharamshala would be private taxis and auto-rickshaws. For a more economical option, you can also travel by bus, provided you are ready for some long waiting times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weather<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The summer months, i.e. May and June are the ideal times to visit Himachal. Since the region experiences heavy showers and landslides during monsoon, it\u2019s not the ideal time to visit between July to September. If you are tolerant of cold temperatures, winter is a great time to visit Himachal for purposes of travel, as well as visiting the Kasol Music Festival<\/a>, the Dharamshala International Film Festival<\/a>, the Himalayan Music Festival<\/a> and many others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
