Chail : A Perfect Weekend Getaway

in #life7 years ago

It was another day of Tuesday evenings when we have a long weekend ahead after along planning for a week and we want to go out somewhere. I was searching in Bikaner that time and there was no place nearby to spend a good peaceful weekend ,so I decided to leave home in the next day with my friend for a wonderful trip.

After catching the first train going towards chail from Bikaner and a random bus leaving for Himachal from ISBT Delhi the next morning,we reached Solan around at around 11. During my bus journey, we was searching for places to go near Shimla/Solan and it was then I read about this place called Dolanji Monastery and Chail ( a small town 45 Km from Solan). The fact that both of these places are really less crowded and are quite peaceful, we sealed this plan and left from Solan for Dolanji.

Bon or Menri Monastery, Dolanji

first we ,stayed in dolanji and started exploring it, later we found that there is a monastery and while searching on internet, I found this Monastery by chance and was amazed at what I saw after reaching there. They have a guest house right next to the monastery where we were planning to stay but was unlucky to find that none of the rooms were vacant and we had to make other plans that evening.This place is not just a Monastery, it is also school or medical assistance.

It was already dark when we reached Chail, so we decided to have some snacks at a near by Dhaba and went back to the hotel to sleep. we had plans of waking up early and visiting this place called 'Kali Ka Tibba', a 6 km hike from Chail town.

Let me tell you something about this place. So, Chail is a peaceful hill station situated at around 45 km from Solan and 40 km from Shimla. it is Surrounded by greenery, this place ensures a marvellous retreat from the chaotic and mundane city life. Situated at a height of 2250 m above sea level, Chail is nothing short of a paradise for hikers and nature lovers. If you are totally exhausted by the demanding city life, this beautiful hill station could prove to be a great escape route for you.

it was Spread over 75 sections of land and situated in a prime area, this royal residence is a standout amongst the most celebrated attractions of Chail. Worked in the eighteenth century by the Maharaja of Patiala, the Chail Palace is a structural ponder. As far back as it's transformation into a legacy inn, it has given travelers a chance to remain in rooms of the Kings and the Queens. It's an extraordinary place to see and to remain on a visit to Chail.
