situated at lower elevation and comparatively warmer but has some hilly
ranges covered with Pine forests. These hills can be developed for
trekking and camping during winter months. This district was made in
1972 by carving it out from the Kangra district. It is well connected by
roads from all sides and thus can be promoted as a tourist destination
by developing some historical and religious places. At present the known

town is the Headquarter of this District, which lies on Shimla
Dharamshala road.
