The H.P.C.A. stadium in Dharamsala will easily top the chart of scenic grounds. It is located in the state of Himachal Pradesh in India. With the snow capped peaks in the background, this ground is extremely picturesque and an absolute paradise to watch cricket in.
It is located at 1317 metres above sea level, which makes it the highest international cricket ground in India. It has also been the home of IPL franchise Kings XIPunjab.
Dharamsala is gaining popularity with time. The venue was once considered only an IPL venue, but now has become an international venue as well.
It hosted it's first and only test in 2017, when India took on Australia. It was also a venue for the 2016 T20 World Cup, which took place in India. The ground becomes prettier during winters, when the playing area and the stands get covered with a thick layer of snow.
