Himachal - ‘Him’ in Hindi literally means snow and ‘alaya’ means home, which makes Himalayas ‘Home of Snow’ and from there Himachal gets its name meaning ‘Land of Snow’. The picturesque state of Himachal Pradesh is nestled between the snow topped Himalayan ranges in North India. Himachal Pradesh is an enchanting land that is surrounded by places such as the Jammu & Kashmir to the north, Uttar Pradesh on the south-east and the mighty Punjab to the west. From the underground waters to the peak of mountains, Himalayas has blessed Himachal with great natural riches. In between, the Passes, the Valleys and the Hot Springs are also the gifts of Himalaya to Himachal.
Himachal Pradesh has been inhabited by human beings since the dawn of civilization. It has a rich and varied history which can be divided into several distinct eras. About 2 million years ago man lived in the foothills of Himachal Pradesh, viz in the Bangana valley of Kangra, Sirsa valley of Nalagarh and Markanda valley of Sirmour. The foothills of the state were inhabited by people from Indus valley civilization which flourished between 2250 and 1750 B.C. In the Vedas they have been referred to as Dasas, Dasyus and Nishadas while in later works they have been called Kinnars, Nagas and Yakshas. The Kols or Mundas are believed to be the original migrants to the hills of present day Himachal.
