About this website
minigoapathankot.com is run by a small local team from Dhar Kalan, Pathankot. We started it because people kept asking us the same things: how do we get to the lake, what is there to do, when should we come, where can we stay. Most of the answers online were scattered, old, or copied from each other, so we decided to write it all down properly in one place.
How we put the guides together
- We go to Mini Goa and the places around it ourselves, and write from what we've seen wherever we can.
- Distances and routes are checked on maps and with people who live here. Where a number is approximate, we say so.
- Photos are either ours, sent by visitors with permission, or openly licensed images with the photographer credited.
- Every Visitor Memory is checked by us before it's published.
- When an activity, a road or a price changes, we update the page. If you spot something we missed, let us know.

Guides to Mini Goa itself (activities, timings, directions, FAQs), pages on the temples, forts and dams nearby, day-trip guides to places like Dalhousie, Dharamshala and Amritsar, and blog posts for couples, families and friends planning a weekend around Pathankot.
