Jaisinghpurजयसिंहपुर
Half a day is enough: visit the temples and the chougan, then move on to Palampur or Baijnath. Not a base.
Jaisinghpur is a small town on the Beas river in Kangra district, known for its flat 'chougan' ground and a handful of temples. It's a quiet stop between Palampur and Baijnath, not a destination on its own. Most travellers pass through in under a day.
