You can consider Sethan in Himachal as an offbeat destination because most of the crowd gets distributed in places like Shimla, Manali, and Spiti, due to which this place has not been explored that much yet. One advantage of this is that its beauty remains intact even today. If you are fond of camping, hiking, trekking, skiing, and snowboarding, then definitely come here.
