Location |
|
Nalagarh is the gateway to Himachal Pradesh in North
India, 300 kms north of Delhi and 60 kms from
Chandigarh. Offering a panoramic view of the
Shivalik Hills, beyond the Sirsa river, the famous
Naina Devi Temple is 60 kms from the Fort and is
visible from the ramparts on a clear day. The 16th
century Ramgarh Fort, only 21 kms from Nalagarh, is
well worth a visit. Besides varied recreation
activities, an ayurvedic health center is an
interesting new facility.
An excellent excursion from Nalagarh is the
impressive Ramgarh Fort. Built by Raja Ram Chander
in 1540, the Fort is situated at a height of 4,000
feet. Located 21 kms north of Nalagarh, the Fort
ramparts command a breathtaking view of the plains
and towns of Punjab, and the perennially snowcapped
peaks of the Himalayas.
Fort-Nalagarh was built in 1421 during the reign of
Raja Bikram Chand. It was ruled by the Chandela
Rajputs who originated from Chanderi in the
Bundelkhand region of Central India. The fort is
located on a hillock at the foothills of the mighty
Himalayas, surrounded by endless acres of greenery.
Replete with all modern amenities, the Fort –
Nalagarh is an ideal retreat away from the madding
crowed.
