Following are the details of places visited by us during this journey that started from

Palampur and ended at Shri Chamunda Devi temple

Rupayan homestay: We had breakfast at this homestay, it was a very comfortable stay, charge for night stay here is Rs 1500, staff hospitality is exceptionally good.

Palampur cooperative tea factory - This tea factory is at a distance of 2 km from palampur, you can visit the factory and can also buy Kangra tea from the store outside the factory.

I bought 2 types of tea for myself, details in the video.

Jakhni mata mandir - This is located at a distance of 10 km from palampur, scenic views from the temple are really good, this temple is located at a height, you will love to visit this place for the temple and the scenic views.

Saini dhaba - this is a vaishno dhab in Palampur - they serve decent food, we went to this place with intention to have Kangri Dham but had there the normal North Indian food as they don’t serve Kangri Dham.

Neugal Khad - This river side sightseeing spot of Palampur is located at a distance of about 6 km from Palampur market. If you happen to stay at Palmapur, then i will suggest you to spend some time at this location, you will have great time there.

Gopalpur Zoo - This zoo is located at a distance of 8 km from Neugal Khad, you may want to visit this zoo, if kids are coming along, as they will enjoy watching animals. When we visited this place, zoo was closed because of corona.

Dorzong monastery - This is located at a distance of 4 km from Gopalpur zoo, You will see a temple there and a institute where they teach Buddhism.

Gurudwara Sahib visit: You can visit Gurudwara which is just at a distance of 200 meters from the Monastery, We noticed that Gurudwara was under construction when we reached there on 2nd October 2020.

Kangra fort - This is located at a distance from Dorzong monastery, If you happen to travel to Palampur you must visit Kangra fort , this is a amazing fort built at a height.

This fort was built by Royal Rajput family of Kangra fort.

After visit to the fort, we went to Shri Chamunda mata mandir which is at a distance eof 25 km but when we reached there we noticed that temple got closed, so we visited the temple next day.

So we decided to stay overnight near the temple at Vatika hotel- nice hotel- we got double occupancy stay for Rs 1500 as they were offering discounts, otherwise the room tariff starts from rs 2500.

Nice play to stay, owner involvement in the hotel is high, this is located at a distance of about half a km from Shri chamunda Devi temple, overall i liked the place.

In the next episode i.e. EP 7 - you will see our journey from Shri Chamunda Devi Temple to McLeodganj.

Hope you enjoyed watching this episode.

Thanks
