Barog
is a beautiful locale, situated 5 km
from Solan and 37 km from Kalka. The
thick pine forest surrounding the town
adds to its scenic charm. The Choor
Chandini (mountain of the silver bangle)
is clearly seen from Barog. This vision
is seen on moonlit nights when silver
bangles seem to slide down the mountain
slopes.
Barog was an important stop
on the railway line that passed through
this place, in the early part of the
20th century. The hill train used to
stop here for an hour, while the travelers
enjoyed a sumptuous lunch. Now Barog,
for its rejuvenating air and views,
has metamorphosed into a little holiday
destination in the state.

Attractions |
| |
 |
Kasauli
: During the 17th century,
driven by unsettled political
conditions, some Rajput families
from |
Rewari(in
present day Haryana) fled their
homes. They took refuge in the
lower Himalayas, finally settling
down at a village called Kasul
where there was a perennial spring
of fresh water. Today, some three
centuries later, the spring is
the site of a water reservoir and
Kasul has grown into the delightful
little hill station of Kasauli.

 |
Chail
: An ideal resort
surrounded by scented Pine and
Deodar forests. It was once
the
|
summer
resort of the Maharaja of Patiala.
It is located on a wooded spur
and it overlooks the Satluj Valley.
Shimla and Kasauli are also visible
and at night the scene of twinkling
lights of Shimla looks charming
and seems like the part of the
starlit sky.
