How To Party In Himachal Pradesh

People throw colors at a party in Himachal Pradesh


One might ask, what has Drake, Marshmellow, Astrix & Punjabi MC have in common? Well, other than their gender, their music can sure make us jump up, down, to the right & to the left! No matter if you're vibing on'em in your whip / crib, in the local disc or at a party in Himachal Pradesh as a maverick, you will bounce to their music, as if your ex just got hit by a brick!

There might be situations when you don't even seem to bother about the kind of tunes being dished out. You'd be just too stoked to get jiggy with it. Although at times, the location might carry few kilos in your mind.

Remember the club you went to this one time & found it packed with creeps? While the music sucked such huge camel d*cks, that you had to leave even before the liquor hit you! Or how about, when you got all dressed-up like Elvis, to get down for this one club but it turned out to be a total sausage fest with just 3 basic uggos hanging at the bar & random bollywood remixes almost gave you a headache??

Well fret no more lil one, just fly to the hills of Himachal Pradesh, let your inhibitions unshackle & stomp under the open blue skies, among the tress & in the towering, enchanting & magical mountains.

Theres a bunch of epic ways to party up in the heights & we're going to discuss each one of''em, one by one, so here we go:

By The Khad:


The State of H.P is bursting with scintillating & luminous river streams flowing from all nooks & corners. Luckily there is always ample space along the 'khads' (River streams) to set up a make shift camp and have a super duper time.The amalgamation of the sound from the gushing water and an ocean full of killer music will create a much larger than club life vibe & give rise to an ultimate perfection in your dance life.

To reach out to these amazingly breathtaking haunts you ideally won't need to struggle as most spots will be beside the road, so park it & hoof it. But, if you really wanna get away from civilization & boogie in serenity then it might include some hiking.

As you revel in the glory of the orgasmic music & enticing locations, chances are you're going to yearn for a sensuous encounter. Well, watch your fantasies come to life with How To Get Laid In Himachal!

In the Forest:

The intoxicating jungles of Himachal Pradesh cover 4.8% of the total woodland in India and are recognized for their magnificence & grandiose with fascinating coniferous & broad leaved forest. So if you're unperturbed by the likes of ghosts, goblins and wild animals like jackals,leopards & bears, then a revelry in the forest would be your cuppa!

Okay that was a complete lie, cause if you're partying in the forest then all the aforementioned characters would infact join your squad to shake a leg with ya'll! Yep that's another lie but I guess I made my point.

Biggest plus side of holding a bash in the forest will be the
 lush Deodar, Bamboo, Chil, Fir, Oaks, Kail & Spruce trees, that'l absorb the thumping sound from your speakers. So you don't need to fret about some village auntie calling the police on you!

With forest covering major parts of the picturesque mountains, they turn out to be the second ideal location for you to have a wild time! Although it's highly suggested to respect the fauna & avoid any type of flames in the forest. Also do not leave any trash in the woods & reduce the divine jungles into forest dump! Moreover if you're calling out large scores of party people then informing the local authorities will help in a big way to avoid any mid-event bummers.

Major dope locations to reach out for will be in the following districts:


  • Kinnaur (Rakcham, Kalpa, Sangla, Reckong Peo/ Bhaba Valley & Sarahan / Daranghati).

By the waterfall:

With an annual rainfall between 2900 mm to 3809 mm, Himachal Pradesh sure turns into a small world of gorgeous waterfalls & not just during the wet season. Few drift along slowly before plummeting from dazzling heights and some rumble with the force of a steam locomotive over the edge of their cliffs.

Now imagine partying on your favorite music on the backdrop of a stunning waterfall. The sound of the water falling from dizzying heights coupled with uplifting deep rhythm & bass will rejuvenate your soul & send it into a divine trance, you'd want to stay in forever.

I remember the time on our way back from a camp, we had just wanted to chill at one of such locations for a while but ended up wildin for 3 straight days! It felt as if the spot did a spell on us or the drops did a number, it's hard to state but it's safe to say it was an insane time.


Following are some out-of-the-world falls you must hit:

  • Sissu Waterfalls (Lahaul & Spiti).
  • Gushaini, Gorudugh, Shoja & Jibhi Waterfall in Tirthan Valley (Kullu).
  • Rozy, Jogini, Marhi, Rahala, Soyal Falls, two unnamed waterfalls on the treks to Kheerganga and Kasol respectively & Rudra Naag Waterfall (Manali).
  • An unnamed waterfall on the 7 km stretch between Barot & Lohardi.

In the psychedelic gigs & festivals:

With the auspicious blessings of our beloved Lord Shiva, it becomes way simpler for you to dance on your respective transcendental & spiritual journey, as you book the online tickets, reach the venue & unleash your soul in the hymns, hallucination & happiness of psychedelic music.

Even though these parties are definitely lit, still it might not be appreciated by everybody, considering the genre limited to psy. But it's not half bad if you're a rookie! Infact you might experience an alternative existence of you, an awakening of a new you!

Most folks might carry huge misconceptions about psy gigs, stamping them as havens for sex, drugs & more drugs. But now, with the local authorities in Himachal Pradesh showing extra interest in such do's, organizers insure a clean setting and any illegal item or activity gets removed from the venue or reported to the authorities.

Honestly psy parties are the only gatherings wherein you will find psychedelic aficionados lost in deep meditation, tranquility, ecstasy & won't catch sight of any altercations, fights or brawls, well unless the drunks pop in!

Yep, life in the serene valleys of Himachal Pradesh is undoubtedly slow,modest & relaxed, however the potential to fashion a lollapalooza is colossal. Even though the shy, sweet & stunning locals do not fancy any loud party in their vicinity, still there is always the right place in the remote wilderness away from the fine looking residents all the time.




So yeah it's true, the mountains are calling out loud with a psychedelic smile & you must go...

Boom Shankar!
