Chail

This quaint hill town was built by the Maharaja of Patiala after he was expelled from the British summer capital Shimla in the late 19th century. Situated 44 km away from Shimla, this hill station is home to the highest cricket ground in the world, situated at an altitude of 2444 m. Chail’s major attractions include the former royal residence Chail Palace, Chail Wildlife Sanctuary, Kali Temple and the central bazaar. Walk under the shade of soaring pine trees, or explore the Himalayan trek routes from Chail to Gaura and Chail to Jhaja.
