Best Peaceful & Relaxing Places in Himachal Pradesh with Sai Tour & Travels

Have you ever found yourself at work daydreaming about having a pause button for life? Deadlines are coming in, traffic is buzzing outside, our phones are ringing off the hook — it’s exhausting. What if we could go to a place where time slowed, the air was fresher and “peace” was more than just a word: it was something you could feel?

For Sai Tour & Travels, Chandigarh as well that break has always been Himachal Pradesh. And the best part? It’s only a cushy drive from Chandigarh. With all the planning, routes, and stays taken care of by us, all you have to do is sit back, roll down the windows, and let the mountain breeze lull you into a state of relaxation like you remember.

So, here take you through some of Himachal’s most serene and calm destinations — found treasures where everything ends in silence, where nature finds its peace together and so does tranquillity amalgamate like poetry!

Kalpa

Wake up in Kalpa and you’ll know what real magic is. The morning sun dapples the great Kinner Kailash peaks in gold and pink, over a carpet of apple orchards and pine forests that move in the freshening air.

The pace of life here is blissfully idle — mornings for lazy walks, afternoons for steaming cups of chai accompanied by snow-capped mountains that gaze quietly, and nights for lying beneath a sky teeming with stars you’ll want to reach up and pluck down.

Kalpa is not only a point of view but timelessness clicked within a village. Indeed, if there was a postal address for peace, it might be Kalpa.

The Barot Valley – A Riverside Getaway

If peace had a voice, it would echo like the Uhl River’s melody within the Barot Valley. Still offbeat and remarkably untouched by chaos, Barot is a portrait of pine forests, trout-filled streams and down-to-hill lows that would make a perfect postcard.

At a place like this, the options are just beautifully simple: go fishing today, walk over the hills tomorrow, read a book with your feet up and if nothing else, just watch the sky turn purple as the day eases into twilight. There are no horns, no rush, no deadlines — only the comforting beat of nature.

Barot is not an escape; it is the world your soul has been wanting.

Spiti Valley & Chandratal Lake – Silence that Heals

If you’ve ever wanted to be somewhere that makes you feel like you’re standing on another planet, then Spiti Valley is the place for you. Spiti is out of this world and grounding at the same time, with desolate terrain, centuries-old monasteries and pocket-size, high-altitude communities.

And then there’s Chandratal Lake — the “Moon Lake.” It’s glass and mirrors, mirroring the mountains overhead and the sky above, and when nightfall hits there’s nowhere better to camp beneath a blanket of stars.

A trip to Spiti is not travel — it is meditation on the move.

Khajjiar – Mini Switzerland of India

They call Khajjiar the “Mini Switzerland of India” and one look will make you realise why. Spacious green meadow in the midst of deodar forest, with a tiny lake in the middle – what you see is it’s like nature’s carpet unfurled just for you.

Families giggle, honeymooners walk hand in hand, and solo travelers soak up the silence. Whether you are counting clouds as you lie on a meadow or watching the horses being idly graced, Khajjiar teaches you the fine art of doing nothing.

Chitkul – The Last Village of India

Chitkul is not just a destination; it’s an emotion. Situated at the very edge of India, at the border with Tibet, this small village feels like the world’s period. A slow, burbling Baspa River runs through the valley, while butts of wooden houses litter the slopes and mountains jut like the backs of ancient guardians. There are no frills here, no luxury resorts, no city-style comforts. The real luxury of Chitkul, however, is its silence — of hearing the river over traffic, of watching the lazy smoke from the village homes, of realizing how small yet alive you feel held in the lap of that raw nature.

Prashar Lake- The Floating Wonder

Sitting mysteriously atop the mountains is Prashar Lake – a beautiful blue-water lake, with a temple beside the lake and an imposing “floating island” in it. The walk here is worth every step, but what strikes me most is sitting quietly by the water, hearing nothing but the sound of the wind and temple bells ringing in the distance.

It’s more than a view — it’s therapy.

Shoja – Where Time Stands Still

Nested on the periphery of the Great Himalayan National Park, Shoja is the perfect place to switch off that cell phone and just be with yourself.

Hidden just near Jalori Pass, Shoja feels like it’s from a dream. Bungalows made of wood, apple orchards, misty morning and chai sipped on a porch — it’s the sort of place where your thoughts finally shut up.

You can drive to Serolsar Lake if you like, but really, it feels like enough just to stay in Shoja and get well.

Dharamkot

Set above McLeod Ganj is the village of Dharamkot, affectionately known as “Yoga Village.” This place is a combination of spirituality and nature in perfect form, with meditation centers, soulful sounding cafés, and morning yoga underneath rising suns.

Use your day to read or meditate or simply connect with some other travelers. But by the time you leave, you’ll have a lot more than just a light body — your spirit will thank you.
