Maranda is near [[Palampur]] and is a green hill station and a [[municipal council]] in the [[Kangra Valley]] in the [[India]]n [[States and territories of India|state]] of [[Himachal Pradesh]]. It is surrounded on all sides by tea gardens and pine forests which merge with the [[Dhauladhar]] ranges. [[Palampur]] is the tea capital of northwest India but tea is just one aspect that makes Palampur a special interest place. Abundance of water and proximity to the mountains has endowed it with a mild climate.
The village has a railway station to hill station [[Palampur]]. The railway line is connected using narrow gauge tracks from [[Pathankot]] to [[Jogindernagar]]. Maranda is also known locally for a renowned Rotary eye hospital in the region.
