At 9,000 feet among the dense woodlands of mixed tropical forests, surrounded by small villages and apple orchards lies Narkanda. A two hours drive from Shimla on the Hindustan Tibet Road (NH-22), a meandering drive with breathtaking views takes you to Narkanda, a perfect place for peace and tranquility. With a spectacular view of the snow peaks, this place is ideal for seeking seclusion in the serene mountains. The region is the abode to enormous groves of hilly cherries and apple trees. The area has forests of fir and spruce, with a smattering of maple, aspen and cedar trees. A wooded trek route takes you to Hatu Peak unfolding a magnificent vista of undulating meadows, snow peaks and valleys. Ahead lie the Greater Himalaya and a number of peaks - the Kinner Kailash, the Srikhand and the Kullu ranges. Hatu's flank hold stretches of apple orchards and acres of wild flowers. Narkanda is the gateway to Apple countryside of Himachal Pradesh. Narkanda is also a centre for winter sports with skiing being organized from January – Mid March.
