KNOW PRAGPUR
Pragpur travel guide
Pragpur is a notified heritage village in the lower Kangra Valley, known for cobbled lanes, courtyard houses and merchant-era architecture. Its appeal is the village fabric rather than a long sightseeing checklist: the Taal, old residences and neighbouring Garli are best explored slowly and respectfully. Summers are hot at this elevation, so October to March is usually more comfortable for walking.
