  • The trip was fabulous. Shimla is an amazing place with lots to see and do. Our tour operator was excellent. All of their suggestions and recommendations were solid. We loved our hotel and the location. All the tours were high-quality and we experienced no difficulties with pickups. Mr. Nitin was extremely pleasant to work with and truly wanted us to have a fabulous time.

  • We cannot recommend this travel company enough! My husband and I had been wanting to go to India for quite some time but had not done so due to lack of time to plan a worthwhile trip. Booking with this company was exactly what we needed--we told them the types of places and sites we wanted to see and they took care of the rest.

  • I got exactly the vacation I wanted for almost no work and probably cheaper than I could have done it myself. I told this travel company what I wanted and they just did the rest. The hotels and tours/activities were great! Couldn't have asked for more. Great service too they were very responsive and helpful!

Kangra Attractions/Tourist places/Local Sightseeing

Kangra was initially called Nagarkot. Situated in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh, Kangra is one of the most scenic towns of the lower Himalayas. Kangra town is located in the beautiful Kangra valley, amids of the mountain ranges of the Shivaliks and the Dhauladhar. The town of Kangra and its nearby areas are mainly recognized for its smooth and safe trekking paths. The Majhi and Bener watercourses flow through this district. Many pilgrims gather here to take a dip in the blessed waters of the Ban Ganga.

The history of Kangra valley dates back to the Vedic period more than 3500 years ago. This whole area was exposed to consecutive invasions throughout its history. Despite the onslaught and political disturbances, the arts and crafts of the region continued to develop with the passage of time. Crafts like the exquisitely designed shawls and miniature paintings of this region are highly appreciated at international level. Kangra travel guide will help to explore Kangra better. Kangra is the gateway to Dharamsala amd Mcleodganj.
