Kangra Fort
Next visit Kangra Fort of the Katoch dynasty, who claim to be the oldest surviving dynasty of India. The fort stands on top of a steep hill and is built strategically at the confluence of the River Majhi and River Banganga. Although the fort is in ruins, it offers some splendid views of the surrounding countryside.
Then stop for lunch (beverage excluded) at a nearby restaurant.
After lunch visit the Mata Brajeshwari Temple that was re-built in 1905 after a massive earthquake destroyed the original building. According to the Hindu epic, Mahabharata, the original temple was built by the Pandavas, who got a divine vision from the Goddess Durga asking them to build a temple for her. It is said that the temple contained tons of gold and silver in its coffers and was plundered several times by Muslim invaders.
After the visit to the temple, spend some time at the local market.
At the end of the tour, you will be driven back to Dharamshala and dropped off at your hotel.
