ABOUT THE PLACE
About Narkanda
Narkanda is a mountain town in the Shimla district surrounded by forests, orchard country and Himalayan landscapes. Located along the historic Hindustan-Tibet road corridor, it provides a quieter mountain experience than the busier Shimla region. Narkanda has a long association with skiing and winter recreation and is also the principal base for excursions to Hatu Peak and Hatu Mata Temple. Nature walks, photography and drives through the surrounding orchard belt add to its appeal outside winter.
