Tucked away in the heart of Himachal Pradesh, Narkanda is a peaceful hill station that offers the perfect blend of scenic beauty, adventu re, and quiet charm. Located just 60 km from Shimla, this lesser-known gem sits at an altitude of 2,700 meters and is surrounded by dense pine forests, rolling apple orchards, and sweeping views of the majestic Himalayas.
Often called the “Orchard Country” of Himachal, Narkanda is especially famous for its apple cultivation. During the harvest season, the entire valley comes alive with blooming orchards and the sweet aroma of ripe fruit. It’s a refreshing escape for those who want to experience the countryside away from the crowds.
