The state of Himachal Pradesh came into being in its present form
with the partition of the Punjab into Punjab and Haryana in 1966.
Himachal Pradesh is essentially a mountain state - it takes in the
transition zone from the plains to the high Himalaya, and in the
trans-Himalayan region of Lahaul and Spiti actually crosses that
mighty barrier to the Tibetan plateau. It's a delightful state for
visitors, particularly during the hot season when people flock to
its hill stations to escape the searing heat of the plains.
On 25th January, 1971, Himachal Pradesh was made a full-fledged
State.The State is bordered by Jammu & Kashmir on North, Punjab
on West and South-West, Haryana on South, Uttar Pradesh on South-East
and China on the East.
