What to see at Chail the Quaint Hill Station

Do you want to visit India’s Lover’s hill? Then get your Indian visa and start packing for Chail. Chail or the Lover’s hills as the locals like to call it truly befits its cute name. It lives up to every expectation when you think of an adorable hill station. Set in the arms of majestic Deodars and Chir Pines, Chail spans over three main hills, namely the Rajgarh Hill, Pandhewa Hill and Sadh Tiba. It is about 2250 mt from the sea level. The breathtaking Shiwaliks forming a perfect backdrop and expanses of the most beautiful orchards and valleys swept with sylvan Pine will surely bring any India visa holder under its spell.

 

Maharaja of Patiala, Bhupider Singh created and developed little Chail. He developed the highest and one of the most well maintained cricket grounds till date. The Maharaja’s Palace is one of the major attractions with India visa holders of Chail till date. It spans over the hills mentioned earlier. The main palace is on the Rajgarh Hill, while the Pandhewa Hills houses the Residency Snow View. The palace is flanked by beautiful gardens and fishing lodges that are open to local public and Indian visa holders now.

 

Trekking or simply staying in any of the standard hotels of Chail is a real treat for India visa holders. On a nice clear day it offers the most splendid view of the unwinding valleys, with River Sutlej graciously making its way between the mountains. The distant lights of Shimla and Kasuali make magical patterns, decking the horizon in night. And of course, there is the Himalayas. India visa holders have to see it to believe why the mighty mountain acted as the muse to many a writers and poets. India visa holders can simply chuck the clock and spend hours staring at it. When the snows melt it adorns jewellery of celandine and hyacinth, while the meadows and forests below bloom with rhododendron and carmine trees. India visa holders can trek to the nearby Kufri station, with the exciting Nature Park. Or follow the trail to Mahasu Peak. Chail being home to a great degree of wilderness, the Chail Sanctuary is also a must see. Then there is Sidh Baba ka Mandir, also built by the Maharaja. If India visa holders are wondering when to visit it, that’s a very puzzling question indeed. Chail has charming springs and summers when the mountains and forests are in full bloom, again the mystic of the mountain deepens in the winter as the place as snow covers most of it.

 

Commercialization has still not seeped into Chail, and India visa holders will find it as a blessing. There are only six hotels and the Mall has about twelve shops. However accommodation charges range from as low as Rs 600 a day to Rs 6000 a day, so there is nothing to worry for India visa holders. Or India visa holders may prefer the sanctity of log huts. Staying in these huts will be a memorable experience for any India visa holder who loves nature.
