A good hill station easily approachable from Delhi or Dehradun. Being a high peak among the nearby hills, the climate is quiet cool gives a soothing relief from the summer of plains. There are sufficient accomodations available from one star to five star hotels. A view of ice clad peaks of Himalayas is the greatest attraction of this place. Of course the local transport is expensive and mismanaged by local authorities.
