Pathankot

Pathankot é uma cidade no estado indiano de Punjab.

Pathankot is a city in the Indian state of Punjab. In 2011 it became the capital of Pathankot district (carved out of Gurdaspur district) of the Majha region of Punjab, India. Pathankot is at the meeting point of the three northern states of Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir, and close to the border with Pakistan on its West. Due to its location, Pathankot serves as a travel hub for those three northerly states. Pathankot is the 9th most populous city in the state of Punjab. Situated in the foothills of Kangra and Dalhousie, with the river Chakki flowing close by, the city is often used as a rest-stop before heading into the mountains of Jammu and Kashmir, Dalhousie, Chamba, and Kangra, deep into the Himalayas.
