Why is Palampur A Volunteer’s Delight

Introduction

Palampur, tea producing and with jaw-dropping landscapes to see, is said to be a marvel amongst volunteers and travellers alike. But what exactly is it that makes Palampur such a volunteer’s delight? I will talk you through the several aspects that make it just that, below.

Palampur-'Tea Capital of Northwest India'

Tea, the love and addiction of many, is abundant

in what is known as the 'Tea Capital of

Northwest India', this is mainly due to the

strikingly beautiful aromatic and plentiful

tea gardens which were introduced to this

region by Dr. Jameson, Superintendent of

Botanical Gardens, in the mid 19th century.

Kangra tea, named after the valley where

Palampur is situated in, is popular and well loved

internationally.

Scenic Beauty in the midst of Himalayas

Another reason for the charm that is

Palampur is its truly stunning natural beauty.

Overlooked by the magnificent snow capped

Dhauladhar mountains, and bursting with

lush greenery and scenic streams which

Palampur is named after (“Pulum” referring

to the great amount of water), it is no

wonder that we strongly recommend this

haven of dense forestry, freshwater lakes,and

verdant hills to all manners of volunteers.

Hub of Historical Monuments

Palampur has copious amounts of

breathtaking sites to take in and visit. From

the Kangra and Kamlah Garh forts, to the

Sultanpur palace, Palampur is home to some

of the most beautiful historical sites in India.

There also a number of dazzling and tranquil

temples to visit in Palampur , these include

the Chamunda Devi Temple, Baijnath Temple

, Devi Latti Jakhni, and plenty more. History

and culture are rife in these parts, and you

will certainly not want to miss these when

volunteering in Palampur.

Festivals DelightFestivals are the epitome of India, and in Palampur it is no different. There are a few important festivals in Palampur: Sair, a local festival of the district which celebrates the rain season and black month (on this day the Sair deity is worshiped, food is offered, and children play games), Lohri and Maghi, this festival celebrated in mid January is accompanied by blazing bonfires, fanciful folk songs, and dramatic dancing! and finally Palampur Holi Fair which is probably the most famous. During this period a huge fair is held, where many singers visit, enlightening activities are presented, and spectacular representations of the gods are created. You would not like to leave without having experienced at least one!

Indulge in Adventure Activities

Trekking and Paragliding are a

percentage of the prevalent

escapade action choices in

Palampur. Actually, Palampur has

been named as the best paragliding

site on the planet. For trekking, the

kangra area is an unquestionable

requirement look at spot.
