The recently built Hotel Mamleshwar has superb
views and is perfectly sited for exploring the area. The hotel has an
excellent location near woods and orchards and is ideal for leisure and
offbeat sightseeing. The hotel is a good stopover towards Kullu-Manali or
towards Kinnaur via Baina Khud from Shimla on this alternative route.
Hillsides covered with
thick forests, acres filled with apple orchards, small picturesque hamlets
and remarkable views in all directions combine to make Chindi (1825 m) and
the area around it, one of the most beautiful places in Himachal Pradesh.
The area is still off the beaten track and yet, has good facilities in
terms of roads, small markets and accomodation. Chindi is an excellent
off-beat destination that holds the charms that Himachal is just famous
for.
