It is always recommended to go for at least 3* resorts in Himachal as going for lesser than that might prove to be a wrong decision.
It is also to be noted that 3* resorts or Hotels should not be compared with the same category of foreign standards.

Himachal Shares its boundaries with Punjab and its cuisine is very much influenced by Punjabi culture. One should easily get Punjabi Dhaba’s at a very reasonable cost in Himachal Pradesh.

SouthIndian restaurants can also be easily found in most of the places in Himachal

One should also check a flight which is reaching Delhi or Chandigarh Airport early in the morning so that day can be fully consumed in the tour.

Actually Not, it is very difficult in north India to get a driver who is good in English. But if you are not comfortable in Hindi and are worried about your communication with the driver then you should be prepared for a discussion in Hinglish and most drivers will understand and will be able to respond.

Himachal Pradesh and Leh Ladakh are totally different states, Leh Ladakh is a Union territory sharing its boundary with Himachal Pradesh. If one is intending to cover both the destinations together one should be prepared for a vacation of at-least 10 Nights to easily cover the important parts without any hassle.
