Kangra Fort lies merely 20 km from Dharmashala. Yet it does not feature in the to-do list of tourists in this super popular destination. We were in Dharmashala last November attending the Trigart Art Festival, thanks to Department of Art and Culture, Government of Himachal Pradesh. In our free time, on a cloudy afternoon, we decided to explore Kangra Fort.

We had been invited to visit the Tigarth Art Festival across Himachal Pradesh. In this process we met Frank Schlichtmann, the curator of the art project In the Woods-2 or ITW-2.

Tirthan Anglers Retreat – A heavenly stay in Tirthan Valley
Tirthan Anglers’ Retreat is a beautiful resort in Tirthan Valley tucked among the remote hills of Himachal Pradesh. The Retreat is on the bank of Phalachan River, a tributary of Tirthan River.

Move over hotels – its Homestay in Himachal
Homestays are popular as a more affordable lodging option to the traveler all over the world. Plus it gives a more intimate local experience. It is yet to pickup in India though as we have our own apprehensions.
