About This Tour

Chandigarh to Chail Same Day Tourby Private Car

Discover the quiet, forested charm of Chail on our same day tour from Chandigarh. Just 110 km away and tucked into the hills near Shimla, Chail is the calmer alternative to its famous neighbour -- dense deodar woods, a royal palace, and the world's highest cricket ground, all without the crowds.

The drive climbs through Solan and Kandaghat, with a lovely riverside pause at Sadhupul where cafes set their tables right in the stream. In Chail you can wander the grounds of the Maharaja of Patiala's old summer palace, see the historic high-altitude cricket ground, and climb up to the Kali Ka Tibba temple for some of the best valley views in the region.

Our drivers are at home on these winding forest roads, so you can simply relax and soak in the pine-scented air. Chail is perfect for travellers wanting a slow, scenic day rather than a busy tourist circuit.
