Tea country · Palampur, H.P.
Palampur & Andretta
The tea capital of the northwest — rolling green gardens under the Dhauladhar, the Neugal Khad, and the artists' village of Andretta, all a short drive from Kangra.
About the trip
Tea gardens under the snow wall.
Palampur sits where the tea gardens meet the Dhauladhar — a genteel little town of colonial bungalows, pine and the sound of the Neugal Khad running down from the snows. It is one of the greenest corners of the Kangra valley and an easy outing from home.
Just beyond, the ancient Baijnath Shiv temple and the artists' colony at Andretta — where Norah Richards and painter Sobha Singh made their homes — give the trip its heart. Tea tasting, a pottery studio and long valley views round it out.
