The tea capital of northwest India — rolling estates of Kangra tea at 1,220m, framed by the snow-capped Dhauladhar range. Less touristed than Dharamshala (32km), it offers a calmer Himachal experience with Baijnath temples, Andretta pottery village, and Tibetan settlements.

Honest take for Jul: Monsoon season — heavy rainfall expected. Good for nature lovers, but outdoor travel can be challenging. (high crowds.)
