About this drive
Palampur is the tea town east of Dharamshala, and the drive from Gaggal is one of the prettiest short drives in the valley. You run along the base of the Dhauladhar with tea bushes appearing as you get close.
Many guests fly into Gaggal for a wedding or a stay at one of Palampur's tea-estate properties. We do this route several times a week.
The road
Along the Pathankot–Mandi highway (NH154) via Kangra bypass, Nagrota Bagwan and Maranda into Palampur.
Worth a stop on the way
- Chamunda Devi: A short detour off the highway; worth it if you want darshan on arrival.
- Nagrota Bagwan: Busy market town; good place for a quick chai.
Season and road conditions
Open all year. Fog can slow the valley floor on December and January mornings.
Local tip: Palampur's tea estates are spread out. Share your exact stay location so the driver takes the right link road.
