Nahan

Overview

Snuggled up against the scenic Shivalik Mountains, Nahan is one of the most captivating tourist destinations in Himachal Pradesh. The town of Nahan delights visitors with its sprawling gardens and marvelous temples set up against the scenic backdrop of lofty mountains. The numerous fairs and festivals celebrated in this secluded Himalayan abode throughout the year transform this picturesque town into a colourful locale and make for another reason to plan a trip to Nahan every now and then.

Language

Hindi & English are understood and used by people engaged in tourism and other professional trades. Although every former princely state within Himachal Pradesh has a local dialect named after it, Hindi (the official state language) and Pahari are the principal languages.

Clothing Essentials

Nahan has moderate temperatures in spring and autumn but can get hot for May-June, the peak summer days. By evening the lake does fan cool breezes over the habitation. Light cotton clothing is most suited for these days but in winter, a dense fog cover that lingers well into the afternoon gets the place to experience some real cold days and nights. A need for heavy woollens is felt in winter.
