): Maharana Pratap Sagar in Himachal Pradesh, also known as Pong Reservoir or Pong Dam Lake was created in 1975, by building the highest earth fill dam in India on the Beas River in the wetland zone of the Siwalik Hills in the Kangra Valley. The Sanctuary is ideally visited during the winter months of November to March when the migratory bird population is at a maximum. It is estimated that over 1,00,000 water birds migrate to the lake during the winter each year and keep growing in number with each passing year. However in the summers tourism is at its peak with water sports and National Competitions being organized on a yearly basis.

The Kangra Fort situated at a 20 km distance from Dharamshala on the out start of the Kangra Town. Kangra Fort is the largest fort in the Himalayas and probably the oldest dated fort in India. A British garrison occupied the fort until it was heavily damaged in an earthquake on the 4th of April, 1905. The fort is entered through a small courtyard enclose between two gates which are known as Patak and only date from the Sikh period, as appears from an inscription over the entance. These gates possess no archaeological interest. From here a long and narrow passage leads up to the top of the Fort through the Ahani and Amiri Darwaza, both attributed to Nawab Alif Khan, the first governor of Kangra under the Great Moghuls Some 500 feet from the outer gate the passage turns round at a very sharp angle and passes through the Jahangiri Darwaza. The Jahangiri Darwaza, however, has entirely the appearance of a Muhammadan building and, judging from its name, would seem to have been raised by Jahangir after his conquest of the Fort in A.D. 1620.
