Shimla : With the state government announcing winter discounts in all its hotels, Himachal Pradesh could be the ideal location for many tourists this winter.
Himachal Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation (HPTDC) announced up to 30 percent discount in its various properties located across the state for the next five months.
“HPTDC is offering 20 to 30 percent discounts in its 54 properties spread across Himachal Pradesh,” said an HPTDC official here Friday.
“The package has come into effect on Nov 15 and will end on April 14.”
But 17 top HPTDC hotels will not offer any discount from Dec 23 to Jan 2 when there is usually a rush, the official added.
HPTDC’s hotels are located in some of the best locations in the state, including Shimla, Chail, Naldehra, Kasauli, Barog, Kiari Bungalow, Kullu, Manali, Mandi, Dharamsala, Palampur, Chamba and Dalhousie.
Some of the hotels are housed in heritage properties.
Last year around seven million domestic and foreign tourists visited the state.
