Palampur is a green hill station in the Kangra Valley in Himachal Pradesh, surrounded by tea gardens and pine forests before they merge with the Dhauladhar ranges.

The town has derived its name from the local word pulum, meaning lots of water. There are numerous streams flowing from the mountains to the plains from Palampur. The combination of greenery and water gives Palampur a distinctive look.

Palampur, also known as the 'Tea Capital of North India', is a popular hill station because it is not only known for its scenic beauty but also for the beautiful temples and buildings built in the Colonial period.
