Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, better known as HPCA Stadium, is a picturesque sports ground in Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh, India. Nestled in the lap of the majestic Dhauladhar mountain range, the stadium offers a breathtaking backdrop of snow-clad peaks, making it one of the most beautiful cricket stadiums in the world. Inaugurated in 2003, it serves as the home ground for the Himachal Pradesh cricket team and occasionally hosts international matches, including One Day Internationals (ODIs) and Twenty20 Internationals. With a seating capacity of around 23,000, the venue is equipped with modern facilities and a top-class pitch. The stadium is at an altitude of 1,457 metres above sea level, which often results in unique playing conditions due to the high altitude and the fast-moving clouds affecting swing bowling. It's not just a sporting arena but also a tourist destination, attracting visitors from all over to witness the harmony of man-made architecture and natural splendour. The presence of Tibetan culture in Dharamshala, owing to the Dalai Lama's residence in the vicinity, adds to the unique charm of the area.

Waste of time. The ground was dug and although it was a place of scenic beauty, we could not see the beauty of the stadium

Skip...Not needed if you have limited time
Good to see stadium but frankly speaking empty stadium is like empty theater. There is no point to visit a stadium until there is a match.
