Angling
The picturesque Kangra valley has several spots that offer mahaseer
river carp. The reservoir of the Maharana Pratap Sagar right
up to the town of Dehra has good spots. Nadaun along the river
Beas has some good beats, besides Chamba Pattan near Garli (accessible
from Nadaun or Jwalamukhi), Amtar (2 km from Nadaun), Harsi
Pattan (30 km from Tira Sujanpur) and Lambagaon (15 km from
Tira Sujanpur).
Water
and River Sports
The Maharana Pratap Sagar reservoir in Kangra with its 42
km length and 2 km breadth, offers a variety of activities
in close collaboration with the Directorate of Mountaineering
and Allied Sports. Year long activities include swimming,
water-skiing, surfing, kayaking, rowing, canoeing and sailing.
Three levels of courses are conducted - beginner, intermediate
and advanced.
The
countryside is ideal for low-level treks and walks. Those
interested in nature study and bird watching will get their
fill. The Beas River is within 6 kms. and offers the possibility
of angling during season ( winter to early summer).
Picnics and visits to local historical sites and monuments
are arranged, and satisfying hours can be spent exploring
nearby Garli (lovely old houses in Simla architecture) and
Pragpur (cobbled streets and ancestral homes).

Museum, the commencement of construction of campus of a Sanskrit
University and a Village Library.
