Neugal Park and HPTDC Cafe

built on the bluff overlooking the river sits Neugal Park and the state run HPTDC Neugal Cafe. Visitors sit on outdoor open air terraces sipping hot Kangra tea and eating snacks while watching the crystal clear river water bubble over massive smooth river boulders.

Iron Suspension Bridge and River Walks

Truth is, walking across the rustic iron bridge gives panoramic views of the entire Kangra valley basin. Children and family travelers step down to the pebble banks to dip their feet in the icy currents, skip river stones, and enjoy peaceful afternoon breezes under the pines.
