Nahan, Himachal is a small hill station in the unknown south Himachal area. The place can be reached in about 5 hrs from Delhi. (Click Here for driving instructions). Built in interlocking circles Nahan town in Himachal is a cantonment area with green fields dust free atmosphere and clean roads. It's a small town with a laid back attitude. Rani Tal at the center of the town with a water tank, a temple and a garden is worth having a look. A festival at the end of monsoon is an attraction where idols from various city temples are carried out in a procession to the Jagannath temple for bathing them, something like the Kullu festival. 

  TIP Another interesting site one can visit on the way to Nahan is the Suketi Fossil Park. Coming from Kala Amb go straight instead of turning left at the Himachal border toll bridge, it is about 5km from here but the road is nothing to write home about. The Park houses  fossils of pre historic animals dating back 8.5 million years to the Jurrasic era, which were found at the site. There are also life size models of the same animals set in a jungle like atmosphere. A good show especially for the kids.

     On the way to Paonta from Nahan one can stop at Dhaula Kuan a sprawling fruit orchard with citrus and mango trees and a fruit canning factory.
