India

Pathankot, India shares 69 connections with 3567 other places across 19 topics, concentrated in history, military affairs, and Himalayan geography. Situated where the Punjab plains meet the Shiwalik foothills, Pathankot was ceded to the British after the First Anglo-Sikh War in 1846 and has since sat at the intersection of India-Pakistan tensions, from the 1965 war infiltration to the 2016 Air Force Station attacks. The narrow-gauge Kangra Valley Railway, built under British rule, links it northward into the hill country toward Palampur and Dharamsala.
