pine and gigantic deodars was once the summer capital of Maharaja of Patiala.
Chail is built on three hills on the other side of massive Himalayan ranges

peaceful and comfortable place to visit. Surrounded by gigantic deodar and
well-maintained Chail Cricket ground is the highest cricket ground in the
world. Several trek routes lead out of Chail up to the Chur Dhar peak and
to Shimla. During winters, skiing is possible at Narkanda. There is also
a wildlife sanctuary 3km from Chail with a limited number of deer and birds.
This is also great hiking country.

to Mahasu peak. Ponies are a convenient way to explore the delightful valleys
and hills. The Indira Tourist Park also offers some delightful views of
the countryside. The Himalayan Nature Park is home to local animals and
birds but apart from a picturesque countryside, there is not much to see
here!
Annandale, just 2-km below the Ridge in Shimla, offers a picturesque
piece of ground, charmingly adapted for recreation in the days of the Raj.
Today it affords a pleasant change from the perpetual slopes above.
7-km west of the ridge from Shimla is the
Chadwick Falls, which was
once the site of a 67-m aquatic spectacle.

Christ Church,
reputed to be the second oldest church in northern India. The silhouette
of this can be seen on the skyline for miles around.
Churdhar Sanctuary got its name from the Chur Peak, on the top of

large number of multi-colored and agile Monals in the adjoining forests.
