After visting Dharamsala, the next day we drove to Kangra Valley so that Neelam could visit her family. While she was visiting, Dharamvir and I visited this really cool fort. It was fairly well preserved, but for some reason it hasn't been made into a prime tourist destination. Which was great for me, because we could wander around and take pictures without being annoyed by pesky foreigners. Inside the fort was a Hindu temple that has some famous, "original" statue of one of the Gods. I didn't quite understand the story, but it's supposed to have some great spiritual significance. I especially liked the stoic priest-type guy who followed us up into the alter area where the state was and gave us blessed food and water. I really appreciated getting a chance to visit this area, because if I didn't have my fabulous tour guides and hosts, there is no way I uld have been able to check it out!
