Apple Revolution in Himachal

Image
Apple Farms- Kotgarh H.P. As you drive into Kotgarh just 65 km from  Shimla  through a sea of apple trees you’ll be struck by its sheer beauty. This is the spawning ground of the apple revolution in Himachal. Every year several lakh cases of apple leave Kotgarh for different parts of the country. This accounts for the unbroken line of trucks that ply these roads during harvest time. In Kotgarh is the famous Stokes Farm. The man who started it all was an American called Samuel Evans Stokes later known as Satyanand Stokes.
