Naldehra
Situated at an altitude of 2200 metres in the Himalayan Highlands, Naldehra is a scenic hill station that attracts tourists with its striking views and impressive golf course. This small city, located near Shimla in Himachal Pradesh, is a haven for nature lovers.
Named after a area deity, Nal Deo, the place has an interesting tale associated with it. According to folklore, there was a dispute between two area gods (Devtas) regarding hierarchical supremacy, which led to a fight. The warring deities caused so much destruction that trees burnt down, and stones melted before the dispute was settled. The area is because of that storied fight that Naldehra glade does not have any stones or trees and has been a meadow ever since.
