Haulage-way Trolley, Jogindernagar


Jogindernagar (Hindi: जोगिन्दर नगर, Punjabi: ਜੋਗਿੰਦਰ ਨਗਰ, Urdu: جوگندر نگار) is a small town in Mandi district, in the central part of Himachal Pradesh, India. It is often nicknamed the City of Powerhouses, because it is the only town in Asia, and probably the whole world, to have three hydro-electric power stations.

The history of Jogindernagar, which is also written as Joginder Nagar or Jogindar Nagar, is tied to hydroelectricity. It was established in 1925 as part of a hydroelectric scheme. A narrow-gauge railway track was then laid connecting it with Pathankot.

Today Jogindernagar is developing into a destination for adventure sports particularly paragliding. The places for paragliding activities are Jhatingri and Dhelu.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
