India’s first Heritage Village
Officially declared by the Himachal Pradesh government in December 1997.
Kangra Valley
India’s first officially declared Heritage Village, built by the Kuthiala Sud clan in the 17th century.
The story
Pragpur was declared India’s first Heritage Village by the Himachal Pradesh government in December 1997, and it earns the label — cobbled streets, a village pond (the Taal), and houses built in a genuine mix of Kangra, Rajput, British, Portuguese and Italian styles, laid out by the Kuthiala Sud clan from the 17th century onward. The Judge’s Court, a 1918 ancestral home turned heritage stay, anchors the village.
