Bifurcate the name HIMACHAL.Then it yields Him + Achal
Him = (in Hindi means) ‘Snow’
& Achal = ‘Veil’
Thus, the literal meaning of the state is “Land in the veil of snow”
Certainly, the name implicates a reason!
What is that?
Himachal is a state bestowed with the beauty of the snow-shrouded Himalayan ranges that encapsulate its hill sites.
Sharing its border with china occupied Tibet, the state has a rich aura of Tibetan culture, which could be seen conspicuously in the form of centuries old monasteries.
At the same time, the hill stations of the state closer to Punjab have more influence of Hindu culture.

I want to thank our 1st president, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru for allowing the 14th Dalai Lama to settle here in 1959.
Following the cardinal saint, many monks came to Dharamshala back then. The result of that settlement can be seen today.
There are many monasteries and meditation centers in and around the town, where tourists come to know their inner selves.
The other hill site, Dalhousie was precious to British governor Lord Dalhousie(after whom the hill station was named).
