Nahan is a town in Himachal Pradesh in India and is the headquarters of the Sirmaur District 90 km from Chandigarh. The picturesque well-laid out town is located on the hill top in the Shivalik ranges with a back-drop of rolling green hills. The hilly town of Nahanhas strong historical ties dating back to 1621 AD when it emerged as a capital city ofRaja Karan Prakash. Some legends relate to a saint and his companion Nahar (dont kill) who used to stay at the place where the current palace now stands. The Nahar palace was built in 1850 and has been turned into a heritage hotel today. The dense foliage is home to a variety of birds and animals that still can be seen in their natural habitat. Apart from natural scenic locations Nahan is known for many ancient temples and places of pilgrimage.
