Palampur
is a fascinating spot in the Kangra
Valley, surrounded on all sides by
tea gardens and pine forests. The place
enjoys a healthy climate and the pine
scented air is said to have curative
properties. The scenery presents a
sublime and beautiful contrast- the
plain presents a picture of rural loveliness
and repose, while the hills are majestic.
Behind this town stands high ranges
of Dhauladhar mountains, whose tops
remain covered for most part of the
year.
This place is being developed
as large tourist centre. A ropeway
and an amusement park is also on the
to be established here. An Agricultural
University is already functioning and
some tea factories are also coming
up. There are also some pleasant walks
around the town.
