Hi, Good choice of places but between the two there is more to Rajasthan than Dharamsala. Also Oct-Feb is desirable time to go to Rajasthan. Having said that I suggest you cover one circuit properly. Choose between Jaisalmer/Jodhpur/Jaipur or Jaipur/Udaipur/MtAbu/Kumbalgarh/Ranakpur or Ranthambore/
Bharatpur if you have interest in wildlife. I would recommend 1&2 in view of 10 days available.Think about it. Good luck!
It has become a comparison between royal enfield and sports bike. Both the states keep their place in their place. If you want to get lost in nature then go to Himachal and visit Rajasthan, if you want to get connected to the royal chic, fort, culture, Thar....
Himachal Pradesh.as u can check my page ..there is a whole himachal tour is covered in that...u can than decide where u want to visit ...but in my opinion ..HIMACHAL is best because
PHADI _PYAR_HAI
Solely depends on your liking amd weather.
If its october or November then I can suggest Rajasthan... Jaipur- Pushkar( Pushkar Fair)-Jaisalmer
If u r heading to Himachal... U can visit Mecleodganj via Dalhousie
BEST PLACE - RAJASTHAN UDAIPUR , CHITTAURGARH ,RAJSAMAND AND AJMER - Best places to visit after rainy season is Rajasthan , in Himachal there are more chances of landslides after the rainy season because the mountains get week in rainy season so they do not allow trekking and adventure sports .
