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.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
