Nurpur is a city and a municipal council in Kangra district in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. It was formerly part of the Nurpur State since the 11th century AD. The capital of the state was at Pathankot formerly known as Paithan, now in Punjab. It got its name from Nur Jahan, the wife of Mughal emperor Jahangir, when they visited Kangra (Nagarkot) after Jahangir's successful conquest of the Kangra Fort.

Geography

Nurpur is located at 32°18′N 75°54′E / 32.3°N 75.9°E / 32.3; 75.9.[1] It has an average elevation of 643 metres (2109 feet).

Demographics

As of 2001, according to the India census,[2] Nurpur had a population of 9,045. Men constitute 52% of the population and women 48%. Nurpur has an average literacy rate of 78%, higher than the national average of 59.5%: male literacy is 81%, and female literacy is 75%. In Nurpur, 11% of the population is under 6 years of age. Majority of population is Hindu and Kangri language is spoken in Nurpur.

Climate

Nurpur has a pleasant climate. The summer season is slightly higher than Himachal Pradesh's seasonal average, but the morning and evening daily weather is relatively cooler, thanks to a sustained, chilled breeze descending from the nearby snow-clad Dhauladhar mountains. During the monsoon season, there is a considerable amount of rainfall because Dharamsala, which receives second highest rainfall in India, is nearby. The winter season is very cold because of windchill from the aforementioned Dhauladhar. The temperature during the summertime rises up to 40 °C, but only for a few days at a time. Monsoons arrive by the end of June and remains until September. The presence of tourists peaks between October and November, largely because of the ideal weather.
