Located on the Kalka-Shimla highway, Kandhaghat is a serene hill town nestled in the Solan district of Himachal Pradesh. Just 29 km from Shimla and well-connected by road and rail, it offers a peaceful alternative to the more crowded hill stations. Surrounded by lush pine forests, terraced fields, and breathtaking views of the lower Himalayas, Kandhaghat is an ideal stop for nature lovers and those seeking quietude.

Rich in colonial charm and local Himachali culture, Kandhaghat serves as a perfect base for exploring nearby attractions like Chail, Kufri, and the historic Tara Devi Temple. The area is also known for its apple orchards, cool climate, and scenic walking trails.

One of the lesser-known jewels of Kandhaghat is the Chail Palace, located just a short drive away. Visitors can enjoy the beauty of traditional architecture, local cuisine, and the simple, unhurried pace of mountain life.

Whether you’re passing through or planning a weekend getaway, Kandhaghat offers a refreshing blend of natural beauty, cultural richness, and tranquility. It’s the kind of place where you can pause, breathe in the mountain air, and reconnect with yourself — away from the noise of city life.
