Chail is a beautiful hill station located at the foothills of the Himalayan range. This place was built as the Summer Capital by Maharaja of Patiala, Bhupinder Singh after his exile from Shimla. The place is just 44 km away from Shimla and 31 km away from Kufri was the perfect detour on our Kufri excursion.
My mom usually prefers going on group tours, but last year I took mom to her first solo adventure trip to Shimla. It was a 4-days and 3-nights tour that we had booked from Travel Triangle.
Located in the heart of the city and running by the side of a 12 km long ridge resides the Mall Road of Shimla. This is the most popular place for the tourists and the busiest commercial area of the city. The mall has everything from hotels to restaurants, heritage buildings to museums, handicraft to antiques. A complete day would be less to explore this amazing place.
Weekend was approaching, it was a humid September morning and I planned to make an escape to the hills. What could be better than the most popular hill resort of India? With just 340 kilometres away from Delhi, and being the former summer capital of British India, Shimla is a perfect place for weekend escapes.
