Assuming that it would not be difficult for you to reach Palampur, Dhramman is small station on the Palampur-Baijnath road ( 7 Kms from Palampur, 200 mts from an Indianoil petrol pump next to a mountain stream) from where you take a detour (Hotel Munish is the landmark) for Kand Bari village and beyond that, Saperu. We are located in village रछिआड़ा  in the सपैडू panchayat, about 6 Kms from Dhramman. The landmark to look for here is the famous ‘देसो’s (Deso’s) shop’ just short of Saperu village, where you can ask for Ira’s house.  You have to follow the Shaheed Jeet Singh Marg (another diversion from the main road) from this point for another 200 mts. after which you have to take the concrete road going up left and keep looking for a mud house with slate roof on your left (another 100 m).
