Nadaun is a historical town and a nagar panchayat in the Hamirpur district of Himachal Pradesh, India.

The temperature in summers rarely exceeds 40 degrees Celsius due to its proximity with the Himalayas and Beas river.

As of 2011[update] India census,[4] Aurangzeb's expeditions in Deccan in the 1690s had put considerable strain on the Mughal exchequer.

As a result, Aurangzeb issued orders to recover annual tributes from the rulers of Shivalik hills, who had been defaulting on the payment.

The king of Kangra and a chieftain called Raja Dayal yielded to the demands of Alif Khan.

However, king Bhim Chand of Kahlur (Bilaspur) refused to oblige and formed an alliance with other chieftains opposed to the Mughals.

After the battle ended, Guru Gobind Singh stayed in Nadaun for eight days, before returning to Anandpur.

These businesses take care of the day-to-day needs of not only Nadaun but also of nearby villages like Bela, Bharoli, Bharmoti, Chaukathi, Bhumpal, Bhatta, Gagaal, Jalari, and Sera.

The main businesses in Nadaun are grocery stores (both retail and wholesale), furniture, goldsmiths, clothing, and construction materials.

Shri Gurudwara Sahib, Amtar-Nadaun Fort, Bil-kaleshwar Temple, and Peer-Sahib Grave are popular tourist attractions.

GSSS Nadaun (Boys), Lala Lajpat Rai Samark, established in 1863, is the oldest educational institute.

Nadaun, like many other parts of the country, has seen a progressive shift to English as a medium of education in most of the privately-owned schools.
