Nalagarh Palace, Shimla, Himachal Pradesh India

Nalagarh Palace is an important tourist attraction of the Solan District. The town of Nalagarh is also referred to as the gateway to Himachal Pradesh, and it once served as the capital of the state of Hindur. King Surendra Singh was the last king of Nalagarh, and at present, Raja Vijayendra, his son is the ceremonial head of the place. The palace is known for its architecture, which is a blend of Indian and Mughal styles, and was recently converted into a deluxe heritage resort. 

Nalagarh was the capital of Hindur state. The place is sprawling, spread in stages and intricately constructed. It nestles in the lap of the low Shivalik hills, just above the present Nalagrah town. It is a Heritage Hotel now called the Fort Resort.

The entrance to the palace is simply superb. It is massive and profusely decorative. On the right stands Hans Mahal, the private residence of Shri Vijayendra Singh.
