Then lose yourself in vibrant bazaars bursting with traditional crafts, textiles, and sparkling jewellery.

Whether you’re a history enthusiast, nature lover, or simply seeking a unique travel experience, this ride is a highlight of any visit to northern India.

Palampur tea gardens

Nestled in the foothills of the Dhauladhar mountain range, the Palampur Tea Gardens are a serene escape into nature’s green embrace. Known as the “Tea Capital of North India,” Palampur offers visitors a chance to stroll through endless stretches of lush plantations, where the crisp mountain air mingles with the aroma of freshly plucked tea leaves.

Whether you’re sipping a fresh brew, walking through the plantations, or simply soaking in the panoramic views, the Palampur Tea Gardens offer a refreshing blend of culture, nature, and relaxation.
