Chail is honeymooners paradise, a hill station of Himachal Pradesh.
It is situated at a height of 2,250 m above the sea level. Bhupinder Singh, Maharaja of Patiala, when was facing an exile from Shimla, he decided to create his own summer capital, which was Chail.
Chail was perfect sometime in history and so it is now - it was surrounded by a thick cover of majestic, soaring deodars, Simla was just 45 kms away, and most significantly, the hill of Chail was decidedly higher than the then British-controlled Shimla.
The picturesque hill station is located amidst scented forests of chir pine and gigantic deodars. Chail is built on three hills, the palace is on Rajgarh Hill, the Residency Snow occupied by British resident is on Pandhewa Hill and on the third hill Sadh Tiba where Chail is situated. Overlooking Satluj Valley, Shimla and Kasauli are also visible at night from here.
Chail has the highest cricket ground in the world, well-kept and well maintained lush green ground is surrounded by massive deodar and pine trees. On the other side of the town are situated the massive Himalayan ranges spectacularly gleaming in the sun and snow-covered every thing under it.
Chail has a natural air-conditioned weather and the tourist find this place to be suitable to visit all throughout the year. Even during the summer the temperature doesn't rise to much, the autumn in all its colors is really fascinating. During autumn, the fields and the forests are covered with a cloak of russet and gold and in winter it is nothing less than a paradise. The weather conditions are so perfect that even in the winter when there is snow fall there is an unusual featured warmth present avoiding the inconvenience of the people. Sight seeing in Chail
Chail Sanctuary
Chail is always splurging with numerous tourists. The Deodar and Oak forests with grasslands around the township are the abode of wildlife.Chail sanctuary was notified on 21st March, 1976 near Chail Town in District Shimla and covers an area of 10,854.36 hectares.
Palace Hotel
The little 'hill station' of Chail came into being when Bhupinder Singh, Maharaja of Patiala was banished from Shimla, the 'summer capital' of British India, after a dalliance with the
Commander-in-Chief's daughter in the late 19th century.
Cricket Ground
Surrounded by gigantic deodar and well maintained Chail Cricket ground is the highest cricket ground in the world. Built in 1893, this cricket pitch located at the height of 2,144m is also used as polo ground.
Maharaja's Palace
The magnificent Rajgarh palace, with elaborate furnishings, built in 1891. With comfortable log huts and cottages, dense forests and serene walks, sprawling lawns, a childrens park, a `lovers hill', and sports facilities, Chail is a resort in the real sense of the term.
Sidh Baba Ka Mandir
Maharaja Bhupinder Singh had originally intended this to be the site of his palace, and had even started building it, but as is believed, a 'sidh', saintly person appeared in the Maharaja's dream, and declared that this was the place where he had meditated. Consequently, Bhupinder Singh shifted his venue and built a temple on the spot.
On the outskirts of Chail there are other good places to visit like Kufri, another hill-station and Sadhupul, a picnic spot.
