Chail Tourism

Maharaja's Palace Chail, Himachal Pradesh

Around 43 km away from Shimla and at an elevation of 2250 m is Chail, a small idyllic hill town. Chail shot into prominence when Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala was denied an entry into Shimla by the British. At that point of time Shimla was the summer capital of the British and a hot favourite with the Maharajas as well. However, Maharaja Bhupinder Singh was not the one to accept defeat easily. He found a new summer capital for himself amidst scented forests of chir pine and gigantic deodars in the village of Chail.

Today Chail retains much of its pristine beauty and attracts nature and adventure lovers in equal measures. The fresh air of Chail infuses new vigour in you
