Chail Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels
hill stations in Solan District, Himachal Pradesh, India
About Chail
At the foothills of the Indian Himalayas, Chail is just 45km away from Shimla, surrounded by thick deodars and at a higher altitude. Chail is a resort. It has several historically tourist attractions. It was built by the Maharaja of Patiala Bhupinder Singh as his Summer Capital, and the residents here are basically from the Pahadi Community. Chail is higher than Shimla, in the Shiwalik region and surrounded by tall tree forests of chir and deodar pine. Many hotels and resorts spot the hills around the village, and it sometimes feels a little bit overly touristy. Many locals seek out this place for the weekend to flee from the bustling cities and during the festival season. Therefore prices in Chail can feel a little bit overdrawn for what's actually on offer.
