Punjpula & Satdara

Punjpula is 3 kilometers from the GPO. It is a very popular picnic spot on a stream. There is Samadhi of Shahid Ajit Singh who died on August 15, 1947 in Dalhousie when his dream of independence was achieved. He was the uncle of Shahid Bhagat Singh.

Several uphill treks start from here, winding through the Punjpula stream's unique rock formations and leading to Dain Kund Range.

On the way to Punjpula are the seven springs of Satdara. The water from this spring contains Mica and other minerals. It is known for its medicinal qualities.
