Solan district, Administrative district in Himachal Pradesh, India.
Located in southern Himachal Pradesh at 1,600 meters elevation, Solan district contains forested mountains and agricultural valleys across varied altitudes.
The district emerged from the former princely state of Sirmaur and became a separate administrative unit in 1972 after India gained independence.
