Thanedar is a village in Himachal Pradesh in India. At 8,000 feet (2,400 m), it is 445 km from Delhi and is about three-hour drive from Shimla. It is slightly higher than Shimla (7,400 feet) and the road linking the two runs almost near the crest of the mountain with a gradual ascent. One is constantly treated to a bird's-eye view of different valleys as the road twists and turns from one spur to another.
This tiny hamlet is famous for being home to one of the first apple plantations in the country. The area around Thanedar is also the orchard region of Himachal Pradesh, where cherries, strawberries, and apples are found in quite a large number. In short, it is a perfect place to spend some time away from the crowd and in complete peace.
