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 attractions are <strong>Deot-Sidh</strong>, <strong>Temple</strong> of <strong>Sujanpur Tihra</strong> and <strong>Nadaun</strong>. Hamirpur town is the Headquarter of this District, which lies on Shimla-Dharamshala road. </p> <p style="width: 100%; text-align: center;"> <a rel="lightbox" href="http://himachaltourism.gov.in/HimachalIT/image.axd?picture=2008%2f9%2fHamirpur01.jpg"><img style="width: 505px; height: 223px;" src="http://himachaltourism.gov.in/HimachalIT/image.axd?picture=2008%2f9%2fHamirpur01.jpg" alt="" height="223" width="505" /></a> </p> <p style="width: 100%; text-align: center;"> <em><strong>A view of Sujanpur Fort</strong></em> </p> <br /> <p> <strong>General information</strong> <br /> <br /> <strong>Area:</strong> 1118 sq. km <br /> <br /> <strong>Population:</strong> 4.12 lakh <br /> <br /> <strong>Clothing:</strong> Cotton clothes in Summer and light woollen in winter. </p> <p> <strong>Language</strong> Hindi, Punjabi, English are understood and spoken by the people engaged in tourism trade. <br /> <br /> <strong>Approach</strong> </p> <blockquote> <p> <strong>Rail:</strong> The nearest broad gauge railway station is Una and nearest narrow gauge railway station is Ranital (Pathankot-Joginder Nagar railway line) and is connected by regular bus service. <br /> <br /> <strong>Road:</strong> Hamirpur is approachable by road from Shimla, Chandigarh and Pathankot. </p> </blockquote> <br /> <div class="imagebox"> <div class="imgbx" style="padding-left: 10px; text-align: left;"> <div class="postfilterPosts"><ul><li><h2>Distances from Hamirpur</h2><div class="filterpostcontent"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Places to visit <br /> </td> <td> Km <br /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Awa Devi</td> <td> 25</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">Deotsidh temple <br /> </td> <td align="center"> 45</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">Nadaun <br /> </td> <td align="center"> 27</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">Sujanpur Tihra <br /> </td> <td align="center">24 <br /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Kangra</td> <td> 75</td> </tr> <tr> <td> Una</td> <td> 82</td></tr></tbody></table></div></li></ul></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7947819729660170378-4790248629506055353?l=angryreceptionist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>News Updaternoreply@blogger.com0
