Shree Maa and Swamiji’s first stop in Himachal Pradesh was Palampur, located in a steep mountainous area with the snow capped Dhauladhar mountain range towering above. Like the Southern Nilagiri Hills, Himachal is known for abundant tea production, but in addition there are wheat fields of various sizes interspersed amidst areas of residential dwellings.

Palampur is part of the incredibly beautiful Himachal Pradesh region with tea, lush fields of wheat, a pleasant climate and dramatic mountain ranges.
