Palampur is a beautiful place in Himachal Pradesh. Attending a winter wedding there is quite a wonderful experience. We drove from our home in Ambala to Palampur. It was an eight hour drive. We went there to attend my husband's RIMC batch mate's wedding. For all those who don't know what RIMC is please google it. I always tell my hubby 'That's the reason I married you'. Well the actual reason is that we both are from defense back grounds so we are compatible. Coming back to Palampur. We reached late in the evening and were too tired, hungry and cold to admire the beauty of the place. But the next morning we were so amazed with the view outside. We could see snow capped mountains from our hotel room window. It felt amazing. We got ready and went to Taragarh Palace which was the venue for the wedding.
Taragarh Palace is on the outskirts of Palampur, on the way to Manali. Its a beautiful Heritage hotel. It made me feel that Indian Royalty had quite a wonderful time when they were in power. It had exquisite wood work and marble flooring. I wanted to settle there but then I came back to my senses when I saw the rates per night of the suites.
The wedding was a typical Rajput style one, with seven pheras. And the ceremony took place between 1 am and 3 am. My hubby and I were awake for the entire ceremony. The bride and groom made a really cute couple. After the wedding we slept for a few hours and headed towards Manali that day. Will be writing about that soon.
