no you can not sell land to outsiders of himachal . even a non agriculturist himachali can not buy or sell land in himachal.
read himachal pradesh land reforms act 1972

the person interested to buy land in himachal had to seek permission under section 118.

As per section 118 of the Tenancy Act a non- Himachali cannot buy land in Himachal Pradesh.

In case someone desire to buy land in the state he/she will have to do so in the following way:
he/she may buy non-agricultural land by seeking permission from the state government.

•he/she will have to clearly specify the purpose for which he/she wish to acquire the land under Rule 38A (3) of Himachal Pradesh Tenancy and Land reform Rules 1975. he/she will have to state whether it is for residential /industrial/ commercial/ educational/ healthcare/ business/ agriculture based project or any other purposes.

A certificate from the respective department will be needed to justify the amount of land required. Permission can be granted for up to 500 sq mt of land for residential purpose and for other purposes it will be as per the requirement of the project.
