Gahan, Bagha Sarahan, Kotgarh Happy GAHAN | BAGHA SARAHAN | KOTGARH a hidden gem in Himachal Pradesh! Travellers 5 DAYS TRIP (26th June - 30th June) KOTGARH Kotgarh is beautiful valley at an elevation of 7,000 feet overlooking the Satluj River and snow clad sub Himalayan Ranges which consist of the Himachal Pir Panjals and the Baspa Ranges. The place is famous for its Apple and Cherry orchards. Rudyard Kipling anointed Kotgarh as “The Mistress of the Northern Hills” in his short story, Lispeth. Kotgarh-a rural idyll remains strongly evocative in an era when tranquility and peace is rare. A veritable mélange of pine, fir and spruce forest welcome you with open arms. The fragrance from fields of apple, cherry and myriad stone fruits produced in the valley is not only invigorating, but can be enriching experience for life. Majestic view of cobalt blue sky-a rarity in the age climate change-ameliorated by the tinge of orange is like a painter colauge, to be admired. Humans and environment is still living in harmony at Kotgarh- a rarity in 21th century. This village is 80 kilometres from Shimla on the old Hindustan Tibet Road. The Road bifurcates from the National Highway 22 at Narkanda toward Kotgarh. This scenic valley offers a marvellous panorama of mountain range, the far ones being snow clad and the near ones being covered with thick deodar trees. In the lower portion of the valley flows the river Sutlej. The area is dotted with huge apple plantations and farmhouses amidst the terraced fields. There are lot of short walks through the forests and apple orchards HISTORY In 1815, Kotgarh became a British territory after the Gurkhas were defeated by the Britishers. The Britishers were impressed by the location, and beauty of the valley. The British encouraged missionary work in the area. You can find the impact of British rule here. Kotgarh is also an ideal holiday location in the Himachal Himalayas. It was in 1916 that an American missionary from Philadelphia, USA, by the name of Samuel Evan stokes visited this place. He had initially come for spreading the teachings of Christianity, but he was so allured by the people and beauty of the area that he decided to settle here permanently. He married a local girl, by the name of Agnes Benjamin. He converted into a Hindu and renamed himself Satyananda Stokes. The descendants of Satyanand Nand stokes still live in Kotgarh. Satyananda Stokes planted the first commercial apple farm of the area, with plants imported from the famous Stark Apple Nursery growers of Louisiana. As he was a great social worker, he encouraged the local farmers to grow apples in their fields. It’s been 100 years since he propagated the first apple trees here, which still reap rich harvest, and the valley is one of the wealthiest in the Himalayas. Kotgarh is a place with wonderful mountain vibes that you can just spent the day just around.

Parmar, University of Abstract Horticulture and Forestry, The climatic changes with respect to rise in temperature, erratic precipitation and lack of chilling hours Nauni, Solan, India have affected the hill horticultural production system adversely. A study was conducted to identify the climatic suitability for optimum production of major temperate fruit crops in high and mid hills of Himachal Pradesh. Using Geographical Information System (GIS), the suitability analyses were performed with digital processing of geo-referenced data on topography, climate, soil and land cover. The potential production areas for each crop were identified by ArcGIS spatial analyst. The study revealed that the higher reaches such as Manali, Bhang, Naggar and Raisan in Kullu; Kotgarh, Jubbal, Kumarsain, Chopal and Rohru of Shimla and Kinnaur district covering Sangla, Kalpa, Sharbo and Pooh were highly suitable for growing apple. Whereas, the areas comprising of Bajaura and Bhuntar in Kullu; Karsog, Nagwain and Jhanjheli in Mandi; Theog area in lower parts of Shimla district were moderately suitable for apple cultivation. The suitability map for sub temperate fruit crops indicated that Kandaghat, Kunihar and Dharampur in Solan and Rajgarh area of Sirmaur district were highly suitable for peach, plum and apricot. However, Nalagarh in Solan and Rohru in Shimla district have become marginally suitable zones for sub temperate fruit crops.

Received: July 24, 2018 Accepted: October 02, 2018 ABSTRACT The majestic Himalayas have a unique place in Indian history and traditions. The entire region is endowed with natural and cultural beauty. Since the dawn of civilization in this subcontinent, the strategic location of the western Himalayas on the crossroads of racio-cultural movements has been responsible for shaping the socio- economic milieu of the people of this region.The state of Himachal Pradeshis located on the traditional trade routes that connect the Indian mainland with the Trans-Himalayan regions in Tibet, China, central Asia, and even the Middle East. It is the most desirable state for mountain tourism for domestic as well as foreign travellers. Himachal Pradesh is a relatively new establishment, but the history of the lands it comprises goes back to ancient times. The main objective of this paper is to study the historical perspective of tourism in Himachal Pradesh from the Mughal period to the modern period with a narrative approach. Keywords: Travel, Tourism, History, Mountains, Himachal Pradesh INTRODUCTION Travel was a typical way of life prior to the advent of modern means of transportation, when economic compulsion forced people to travel, often over hazardous territories to trade essential commodities.
