City Info :
The ancient town of Kangra overlooks the gushing torrents of the Banganga River, a tributary of the Beas that rises in the southern slopes of the snowy Dhauladhars Range. Saying that Kangra is an ancient town is an understatement; Kangra has the distinction of being the site of the oldest recorded war in human history and also finds mention in Alexanders (around 326 BC) war records. The great Indian epic Mahabharata mentions Kangra which was then known as Trigarta. Today Kangra is also known among the locals as Bhawan or Nagarkot. Bhawan because it is the site of the Bajreshwari Devi Temple, and Nagarkot because of the fort Nagarkot.
