population of Chir pheasant and Leopard. The area was earlier a protected
forest.

Civet, Barking Deer, Goral, Indian hare, Rhesus Macaque.
Air: The nearest airport is Bhuntar about 57 km
from Mandi.
Rail: The broad gauge railhead is at Pathankot, a distance of
210-km. From Pathankot the narrow gauge railway connects
Joginder Nagar, which is 55-km from
Mandi.
Road: Mandi is well
connected by road to other places. The main bus stand is just above an
open playing field, where the National Highway- 21 continues along the
left bank of river to Pandoh.
The town has many hotels but the place to stay is ramshackle
Raj Mahal, overlooking the Town Square is a period-furnished palace with a
good restaurant. For a bit more comfort try Evening Plaza, Vyas GuestHouse
and the Arayan Bungalow.
