Himachal Pradesh no doubt the best place to travel solo. The places to have chai and parathas anywhere, maggie and Mountains have the best combo :) You are almost got there if you choose to walk daily. Safety Check ✅ warm people :) Try to avoid the towns. Live in the village and you will know what peace means
