Dhanaulti: A quiet, tiny hilly retreat, Dhanaulti has long winding paths, picture perfect hills, luxuriant green forests of Oak, Deodar and Rhododendron and above all stillness to it that a city dweller craves.
Chamba: The unexplored, untouched and tranquil destination still retains its innocence which most of the popular hill stations have lost to the maddening commercialization. Chamba snatches you away from the maddening crowds, traffic jams, pollution, pace and routine of the hectic urban existence.

Panwali Kantha is a joy to your senses as eyes are calmed by the greenery and flowers all around, ears ring with the chirping of birds in thousands of hues, the aroma of scented Deodar and oak tress is intoxicating, the touch of cool air tingles your skin and the tongue can be satiated with the fresh and rustic village food on offer by the simple villagers.
