Go for home stays in Himachal!
Shimla: How about celebrating Christmas and ringing in the New Year in a snug wooden cottage amid the orchards with the snow-clad Himalayas in the backdrop? Himachal Pradesh is promising tourists a cozy year-end with local cuisine and folk culture shows thrown in for good measure.
Tourism Director Arun Kumar Sharma said the 'home stay scheme' launched by the state government last year has received overwhelming response from the household owners. Under the scheme, any resident can rent out a portion of his house to the tourists after getting the premises registered with the tourism department.
