Palampur Homestay

Palampur

Palampur got its name from the word Pulum that means abundant water. It was a part of Sikh kingdom and later came under the British rule. About 35 km southeast of Dharamsala, Palampur is a bustling little town known as Tea Capital of North India. Its paddy field, tea gardens, colonial architecture and majestic Dhauladhar Range in the background make a perfect landscape. It is suitable to every age in any season because of its mild altitude of 1220 m and comfortable weather throughout year.

The Homestay is ideally located at a walking distance from the little hilly railway station of Palampur. Surrounded by forest at the back and village in front, it’s a well curated family run home stay.
