In this travel guide, I will provide a complete list of places to visit in Chail which can help you in planning your local sightseeing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Chail mostly gets included with a trip to Shimla. Tourists will plan a day trip and visit both Kufri and Chail on the same day. I can however tell you that Chail has much more to offer than what can be covered in a few hours of sightseeing. This tiny hamlet is a beauty in itself and you can easily spend a couple of days here without starting to wonder what to do.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another good thing about Chail is its close proximity to cities like Delhi and Chandigarh that makes it an excellent choice for a weekend getaway. While the nearby places like Shimla and Kufri can definitely feel crowded in the tourist season, you will not find many tourists in Chail. So if your idea of the trip was to spend some time away in peace at an offbeat destination, Chail is where you should go.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Please note that in this article, I will only talk about places to visit in Chail and Things to do.

The place is best known for its stunning natural beauty, dense forests, and the great view that it offers of the surrounding valley and lower Himalayas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Even though it is at a very short distance from Shimla, the place is much more quiet and peaceful. The well known Chail Palace and the world&#8217;s highest cricket ground are some other places that put Chail on the tourist map (more details to follow). It is also a favored trekking and camping destination.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/places-to-visit-in-sarahan\/\">Places to Visit in Sarahan and Things to Do<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Places_to_visit_in_Chail\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Places to visit in Chail<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In all honesty, the natural beauty of Chail is its prime attraction, and it kind of makes sense as well. You do not visit a place like Chail to do tons of sightseeing, eating out, shopping, and other activities. For such kind of trip, you go to places like <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/shimla-manali-trip-itinerary\/\">Shimla and Manali<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But when you want to get away from the crowd for a while and spend time at a peaceful location, you come to Chail.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With that being said, there are a few places in Chail that are worthy of note and a visit. Mentioned below is the list.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chail_Palace\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Chail Palace<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is a very interesting tale behind how Chail and Chail palace came to be. In ancient times, Chail was the summer retreat of Maharaja Rajendra of Patiala. After he eloped with the daughter of British Viceroy in 1892, he was barred from entering Shimla ever again. As a result, he constructed a summer capital of his own at a small village called Chail and built a palace for himself here.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The palace sits on about 75 acres of land and has now been turned into a heritage hotel. HPTDC offers a wide variety of cottages, suites, and rooms with different tariffs to accommodate tourists. You can check availability and book your stay here on <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/hptdc.in\/index.php\/chail-the-palace\/\">HPTDC online portal<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Even if you do not wish to stay at the hotel, a visit to the palace is still highly recommended. It is surrounded by a beautiful cedar forest and the colonial-style architecture is worth observing. It is located about 1 kilometer from the main Chail Bazar.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Remember the movie, 3 Idiots? The palace that was shown as the residence of Ranchhod Das Chanchad in Shimla? That is actually Chail palace.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/places-to-visit-in-chail-4.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-26766 size-full\" title=\"places to visit in chail\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/places-to-visit-in-chail-4.jpg\" alt=\"places to visit in chail\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/places-to-visit-in-chail-4.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/places-to-visit-in-chail-4-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/places-to-visit-in-chail-4-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/places-to-visit-in-chail-4-585x329.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kali_Ka_Tibba\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Kali Ka Tibba<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Kali ka Tibba is a vantage point located about 6 kilometers from main Chail Bazar. At the top of the hill sits a beautiful temple dedicated to the goddess Kali and hence the spot is known as Kali ka Tibba.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are three things that make this place worth a visit. The first is the temple itself. The second is the view that you get of the entire valley and Solan.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/best-time-to-visit-chail\/\">Best time to Visit Chail \u2013 Weather and Sightseeing<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The third and biggest reason is the sunset view that this spot offers. Trust me when I say this, you have not seen a sunset like the one you will view from here. Come here slightly before the sun goes down and witness a sight that is almost magical.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/places-to-visit-in-chail-5.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-26767 size-full\" title=\"kali ka tibba\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/places-to-visit-in-chail-5.jpg\" alt=\"kali ka tibba\" width=\"800\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/places-to-visit-in-chail-5.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/places-to-visit-in-chail-5-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/places-to-visit-in-chail-5-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/places-to-visit-in-chail-5-780x516.jpg 780w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/places-to-visit-in-chail-5-585x388.jpg 585w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/places-to-visit-in-chail-5-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chail_Cricket_Ground\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Chail Cricket Ground<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This cricket ground is best known for two reasons. The first is that it was built by Maharaja Bhupinder Singh in 1893 which makes it one of the oldest cricket grounds in India. But more than that, its location is what puts in on the world map. At an altitude of 2,444 meters, it is currently the highest cricket ground in the world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/manali-travel-guide\/\">Manali \u2013 How to Plan your Trip and Explore?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is said that the ground was initially built by leveling a hilltop. It is now maintained by the Indian Army and used as the playground for Chail Military School. During school vacations, it is also used for Polo and other sports. There is a well-maintained Basketball court in the ground.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/places-to-visit-in-chail-3.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-26765 size-full\" title=\"places to visit in chail\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/places-to-visit-in-chail-3.jpg\" alt=\"places to visit in chail\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/places-to-visit-in-chail-3.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/places-to-visit-in-chail-3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/places-to-visit-in-chail-3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/places-to-visit-in-chail-3-585x329.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sadhupul\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Sadhupul<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The place is literally named after a bridge, Sadhupul. The old bridge that it was named after no longer exists and has been replaced by a new one. What initially made this small area famous is when the locals came up with an idea of setting up restaurants in the middle of a shallow river. They will set up the table and chairs right in the middle of the water stream and people can eat and drink with their feet dipped in the flowing water. Quite an experience, isn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This practice was stopped by the authorities a few years ago. Sadhupul however is still famous as a camping site. There are several campsites right next to the river and you can even pitch your own tent. It is also an ideal location for picnics and family outings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Please note that Sadhupul is not in Chail but at a distance of about 12 kilometers. The drive is however a scenic one and you can may it a day excursion. An even better way to cover this would be either while going to Chail or while returning. From Kandaghat, take the road towards Sadhupul and then drive to Chail from there.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/what-to-see-in-shimla-fun-things-to-do-in-shimla\/\">What to See in Shimla \u2013 Fun Things to do in Shimla<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chail_Wildlife_Sanctuary\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Chail Wildlife Sanctuary<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Spread over an area of 110 square kilometers, Chail Wildlife sanctuary is home to a large number of birds and animals including sambar, goral, cheer pheasants, leopards, and black bear.

For a day-long excursion from Shimla, you can cover Chail Palace and Kali ka Tibba. If you were staying for a day in Chail, you should visit the palace, the temple, Sadhupul, Cricket ground, the market, Sidh Baba Mandir, and the Gurudwara. If you were going to stay here for 2 days or more, you can also include the Chail Sanctuary and can even go on a trek.

Take a walk through the beautiful forest and enjoy the natural beauty around you. My perfect time for this was early in the morning when Chail was still fast asleep. I once spent an entire week here working from Chail. I would get up in the morning, go out for a walk, and then have my morning tea in the market, just when the shop was opening. Trust me, that used to be my favorite time of the day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/sainj-valley-shangarh\/\">Sainj Valley and Shangarh \u2013 A COMPLETE Travel Guide<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Trekking_in_Chail\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Trekking in Chail<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are a few short treks in Chail that you can venture on.
