About the place

The feeling of Narkanda

Narkanda sits on the historic Hindustan-Tibet road amid dense fir forests and apple-growing country. One of India's older skiing destinations, the town becomes especially distinctive under winter snow. Nearby Hatu Peak, forest walks and the orchard landscapes around Thanedar make Narkanda rewarding well beyond its role as a stop on the road toward upper Shimla and Kinnaur.
