TEMPLE· 4.7 · 57 stays

“A quiet home in Palampur, a short 100-metre walk from the road. The rooms are clean and simple, with views of the mountains. The only sounds are birds and distant temple bells. Rajesh cooks simple, homely meals, including local Himachali dishes. Two friendly shih tzus often greet guests on arrival.”

A look around

What's here

The last 100 metres to the home are on foot, a short walk that leaves the road behind. You arrive in a gravel courtyard, looking up at a two-storey home with a wide wooden balcony. The feeling is quiet, removed. As one guest puts it, "The property is completely secluded and located on a high point, which makes it very peaceful and relaxing." The home has thirteen bedrooms and one bathroom, with four beds available for up to eight guests. The rooms are recently renovated, kept neat and spacious. From the windows, you see the green hills, often with a layer of mist. The caretaker, Ravinder, keeps the place spotless, while Rajesh manages the kitchen, preparing fresh, simple meals that guests often say remind them of home. Outside, you can sit in the courtyard or on the upper balcony. In the evenings, string lights give the balcony a warm glow. The hosts have two shih tzus who are very much a part of the welcome. Another guest mentioned, "all you can Hear is either melodius chirping of N number of Birds or scerene sound of Bells from Temple nearby."

Around the stay

Things to do nearby.

Palampur is a good point of departure for the Kangra valley. The main hub of Dharamshala and McLeodganj is a short drive away. Here you can visit the Tsuglagkhang complex, the official residence of the Dalai Lama and a centre for Tibetan Buddhism.

For walkers, the Triund trek is a popular day-hike starting from McLeodganj. It's a four-hour walk up to a ridge that offers a wall-of-snow view of the Dhauladhar mountain range. It's best done with a local guide.

About an hour and a half from Palampur is Bir-Billing, known as the world's second-highest paragliding take-off point. The flying season peaks in October and November when the thermals are ideal. You can book a tandem flight on the spot for a 20-30 minute ride over the valley.

Logistics

Getting there.

By air: The nearest airport is Gaggal Airport (DHM) in Dharamshala. However, flights can be infrequent and weather-dependent. The most reliable airport is Chandigarh International Airport (IXC), which is a 5-6 hour drive away but has excellent connectivity.

By rail: The nearest broad-gauge railhead is Pathankot, which is well-connected to major Indian cities. From Pathankot, it's about a 3-4 hour taxi ride to Palampur.

By road: Palampur is well-connected by road from Delhi and Chandigarh. The nearest major road hub is Dharamshala. Expect mountain roads, which are often single-lane with hairpin bends.

Seasons

Best time to visit.
