amit2821

dear freinds,

would like to experience both downtown stay and nature surrounding stay.

can anyone advise which is a alternate place around shimla like chai, fagu etc where i can opt for.

thanks

In shimlas case downtown would mean the bottom of the valley... but assuming that you mean the city.... there are lots of options around mall road and on it as well..check the site for recommendations and advise on this issue.

For a more 'intune with nature' i would recommend Potters Hill which is located in the middle of a reserve forest, tents and cottages, quite secluded. Is about 30 mins away from Shimla main town. Or you can go towards Naldehra / Mashobra as well , another area with reserver forests... a good options is Chalets Naldehra (just google for the site)

Places around Shimla are plentiful as well, do a search on the site but some names - Chail, Fagu, Narkanda, Shoghi..

Peach Blossom has been recommended as good option by members. You could then check out Chail which is quite nice as well.

The HPTDC hotel Manimahesh is well situated in Dalhousie. I had stayed there when it was started back in 1999 and overall was satisfied with the hotel. Can't say much about the hotel now.

Other options around in Dalhousie are Mountview, Grandview and Lalji Resort all top end hotels. For medium budget try for Hotel Kumar and President
