You may have been asked this before, but let me ask you this again. Is there a thing like the perfect vacation? If so, what is it that takes your vacation from the “Oww” to the “Aww” levels of fulfillment? I would say the first and foremost is the destinations and second is the accommodation. This was realized by me on my vacation to Himachal Pradesh. Popularly titled as the Devbhumi – “Land of Gods”, it is an enchanting hill state landlocked with the Jammu and Kashmir in the north and the Tibetan plateau in the east, and Punjab in the west. Its sheer topographical diversity and awe-inspiring pristine natural beauty make it most popular amidst the tourists. This topography and the consequential cool and snowy climate, define Himachal’s tourist attractions. The tourism and apple-growing industry are the two major industries that are running the economy of the state.

So much talked for destination now let me come to the accommodation part. The reason why I choose accommodation to be the second factor in making a vacation an alluring, majestic is simple when we go out for vacation we walk away from our houses in search of relaxation, newness and comfort. And thanks to the rising tourism industry of India all these expectation of a vacationer can be fulfilled with the presence of the Heritage hotels in Himachal.
