Haripur-Guler, Kangra

Extremely popular among tourists, Haripur-Guler, which are known for the legacy of Guler Riyasat, are twin townships located in the Kangra District. The two towns are renowned among art enthusiasts for traditional Kangra and Pahari paintings. The distinct styles and techniques of the Guler style of painting flourished in the local families.

Haripur is situated at an altitude of 1811 ft above sea level and is separated from Guler by a small river. The stream passing through Haripur and Guler has led to the formation of a wetland, which has been declared as a Ramsar Wetland Site because of the large number of migratory birds that come here during the winters.

Several caves, a ruined fort and some temples built by Raja Hari Chand are present here that add to the charm of the place.
