Palampur is
the best place to take a retreat in a serene atmosphere. Nestled in the foothills
of the great Himalayan Dhauladhar mountains, it is a small town and yet not
a town. It is a village and yet not a village. It has all the facilities of
a city but none of its ills. It has the raw beauty and freshness of a village
but none of its backwardness and squalor. Set amidst the hills, this small
exquisite town is bejeweled with lush green terraced fields, the majestic
deodar trees, the beautiful tea gardens, pine forests, the snow clad breathtaking
view of the Dhauladhar mountains with its imposing sky high peaks and the
petite, dancing rivulets all around. With a moderate climate, it is cool and
refreshing in summer, integrating with intermittent showers in the rainy season
and the cold nip in the air during winter.
