A family vacation is the perfect time to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, rejuvenate self and build a closer bond with your family. Here are the top six things that you can do with your family on a vacation to Himachal:

1. Enjoy Nature Walks

The hill stations are known for their greenery and scenic beauty. Indulge in a nature walk with your loved ones and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the place. 

2. River Rafting

If you don’t have young kids and want to go on an adventure, river rafting is a fun activity. Don’t worry you don’t need to be an expert to try it out. If you want some thrill in your vacation, then this is a must-try. 

3. Skiing

This is yet another fun activity to try if you are going to Himachal for a vacation. Skiing can be done in Narkanda, and the famed Solang Valley. There are institutes to teach skiing, so that you can enjoy the snow-covered mountains and tall trees.

4. Toy Train 

The best way to enjoy the scenic beauty of Himachal is from the windows of a train. You can board the train from Kalka and enjoy a 100 km ride to Shimla with your family. It is the perfect way to imbibe the beauty of the place. 

5. Camp Under the Starry Sky

Due to heavy pollution in cities, we never get to see the stars. On your Himachal vacation, you can camp under the clear night sky and stargaze with your dear ones. Having a cosy little bonfire along with toasted marshmallows is a great idea to break away from monotonous city life. 

6. Paragliding

If you like the adrenaline rush then paragliding is a great option. It is a fun experience where you get to soar high in the sky. You can enjoy paragliding in Bir Billing, Bilaspur, and Solang Valley.
