Narkanda is a serene hill station situated in the Shimla district of Himachal Pradesh, India. Nestled at an altitude of approximately 2700 meters above sea level, it is surrounded by the majestic Himalayas and covered with dense forests. It is known for its apple orchards, beautiful landscapes, and the Hatu Peak, which is the highest point in Narkanda and offers panoramic views of the snow-clad Himalayas. Narkanda is a hub for tourists seeking tranquility away from the bustling city life, and it serves as a gateway to the apple belt of Himachal Pradesh. During winters, the town turns into a popular skiing destination due to the heavy snowfall it receives. The area also has a rich cultural heritage, with ancient temples such as the Hatu Temple near the peak. It proves to be an all-season retreat, with the summers being pleasantly cool and the winters adorned with a white snowy carpet. The place is also ideal for hiking, trekking, and adventure sports. Narkanda's strategic location on the Hindustan-Tibet Road (NH5) makes it a popular stopover for travelers heading towards Spiti Valley.
