Introdution: A heritage resort atop the Shivalik Hills mere seven hours
away from Delhi and one and a half hours from Chandigarh, Nalagarh Fort is
a must visit must stay hotel. Built in 1421 by the royal family of
Nalagarh, the hotel has all the modern facilities. The erstwhile royal
family is still residing inside the palace that marks the regal continuity
that this structure has maintained.
Around Nalagarh: Nalagarh is one of those places that soothes the
eyes as much as it calms the soul. The retreat is an ideal place to
unwind from the heat and dust of the overcrowded Indian cities.
There is plenty to explore by way of nature walks
in the lush green surroundings of Nalagarh. One can enjoy a picnic
lunch in the Royal Orchards under the shades of the
trees or in the Machaan. The famous Mughal
Gardens at Pinjore are only 35 km away. In season, fishing
enthusiasts can look forward to exciting times at the Gobind
Sagar Lake, Gambar River (22 km) and the
Sutlej Barrage (22 km). For the devout,
the famous Naina Devi Temple is only 60 kilometers
away.
An excellent excursion from Nalagarh is
to the impressive Ramgarh Fort. Built
by Raja Ram Chander in 1540, the Fort is situated at a height of
4000 feet. The Fort is located 21 km north of Nalagarh. The Fort
ramparts command a breathtaking view of the plains and towns of
Punjab, and the perennially snowclad peaks of the Himalayas.
Ramgarh is an important landmark of the
famous Gurkha Wars of the mid nineteenth century.
Nalagarh was the
capital of the kingdom of Hindur founded by Raja Ajai Chand in 1100
A.D. It was ruled by the Chandela Rajputs. The Chandela kings were
great patrons of art and architecture. Raja Ram Chander, another
illustrious ruler of the same dynasty, was also a great builder who
constructed the Ramgarh Fort and the town of Ramshere. Raja Surendra
Singh was the last ruler of Nalagarh and his son, Raja Vijayendra is
the present ceremonial ruler of Nalagarh
The Nalagarh Fort has a series of
structures that are mostly built in the Mughal style of
architecture. These have been exhaustively renovated and are now a
quality heritage resort with panoramic view of Shivalik
Hills.
