Nalagarh's main attraction is the Nalagarh Fort which has now been converted into a heritage hotel that attracts tourists from all over the country.

The Mughals and the Britishers during their rule cherished the beauty of this place and regarded it as a princely state, and till date, the royal touch is still alive and unscathed. Besides the sovereign attributes attached to the city, Nalagarh successfully embraces the growth in steel, chemicals, thread mills, leather and breweries and is an upcoming industrial town.
The area is covered by the surrounding Himalayas on one side and the Shivaliks on the other. An emerging industrial town, the place is dotted with ruins of many forts which include fortifications of Chamba, Surajupur, Ramharh and Malaon.

- Nalagarh is primarily a tourist attraction because of the Nalagarh Fort itself and it makes sense to go here only if you are going to stay in the Resort itself. Otherwise only a stopover in Nalagar (Read More)h is recommended if you are in this area. Thankfully, Solan district lies in the Chandigarh-Shimla highway and you can spend 3-4 hours to check out this fort
