Foliage Outdoors is delighted to announce another Offbeat Theme Tour. This time, we will take you to the Apple Orchards of Himachal Pradesh!
Theme of this Tour is "Apples" and we have hand-picked two of the most beautiful destinations for you, Thanedar and Sangla.
Thanedar – the birthplace of apple cultivation; Sangla – home of the legendary Kinnauri Apples: both places of extraordinary, pristine natural beauty. Visiting these places when the orchards are laden with luscious, red apples waiting to be picked is your opportunity to succumb to the temptation of the Forbidden Fruit in a Garden of Eden!
Thanedar claims its rightful place as a "Fruit Orchard Of India" while Sangla, located in the lap of towering mountains, in Kinnaur Region), has a beautiful location on the banks of the Baspa River. The hikes that emanate from here are long and easy and are highly rewarding. This vacation will surely be “the change”
you so badly needed...
So what are you waiting for!?!?!?
Get ready to explore the unknown secret of Himachal :)
