SUBATHU: 28 kms from here, some fascinating
ruins of an old Gurkha fort are to be found.
DAGSHAI: The pretty hill town of Dagshai (19
km), across the forested ravines and hills from Kasauli, used to be a well-kept tourist
secret. Even today not many visitors wend their way to its picturesque environs.
They’d prefer to hotfoot it to the glitzy environs of the Shimla Mall instead!
Dagshai used to be the haunt of old timers who knew its sylvan treasures as well as
they did Kasauli. With its superb walks and picnic spots under the canopy of oaks and
holly forests.
BAROG: Barog once just a stop over on the
Kalka-Shimla highway, this town has grown to be a destination in itself. Surrounded by
pine forests, it presents a fascinating view of the Churdhar Peak, which poetically
translates into 'Mountain of the Silver Bangle'.
SOLAN: The valley of Solan is one of a kind,
famous as the Mushroom city of India.
CHAIL: 43 kms from Shimla and with a lush
green setting, this was the former 'summer capital' of the Patiala state. At 2250 meters
it has the world's highest cricket pitch and a polo ground, the old palace, now a hotel,
and the possibility of some angling are added attractions.
PARWANOO: This fast spreading town welcomes
the traveler to Himachal as one enters the state from Kalka.
