Mandi / Jogindernagar

Joginder Nagar, the erstwhile Sukrahatti village, is an ideal locale for picnics, sightseeing, fishing and trekking in Mandi District. The place is named after Raja Joginder Sen of Mandi who constructed a Hydel power scheme here in 1925. Places of tourist interest include Macchiyal Lake, Bir (16 km), Jhatingri (12 km), Baijnath temple (23 km), Bassi powerhouse and Barot (40 km). Nearby towns of Mandi and Kangra have better housing facilities.

A journey from Jogindernagar to Barot in the interior of Mandi district, on the haulage trolley is thrilling. Bassi power station is 5 km. and next to it is 'Macchial' considered to be a sacred spot. It is worth a visit on account of Shanan Hydel Project built by the Britishers Pandoh Dam, Slapper Hydel Project, Rock Salt Mines at Gumma and Darang are other attractions around the main town.
