Sirmaur district, Administrative district in Himachal Pradesh, India
The Sirmaur district spans across southwestern Himachal Pradesh, featuring mountainous terrain, dense forests, and the prominent Giri River dividing the region into two sections.
Raja Karam Prakash established Nahan, the district capital, in 1621 as the seat of the Sirmur princely state, marking the beginning of organized administration in the region.
The district celebrates traditional festivals like Vaaman Dwadshi and the Gugga Veer Fair, while maintaining distinct local customs through its numerous temples and religious sites.
The region connects to major cities through National Highways, with the nearest airports located in Chandigarh and Shimla, offering multiple transportation options for visitors.
Suketi Fossil Park, situated 21 kilometers from Nahan, displays life-size models of prehistoric animals discovered in the area, representing Asia's first dedicated fossil exhibition site.
