Besides
the inhouse facilities listed above there is a lot more to do
than meets the eye. A few options are listed below.
1
- Visit to the waterfalls. Not one but two of them. On the
same stream. Both the falls are separated from each other by
about 30 minutes of steep uphill walk on the same trail.
As private as you can ever imagine a waterfall to be. The
bigger one nearly 50 feet high allows you to enjoy just
the showering if you don't want to get in to icy cold
water. 45 minutes walk one way. Mildly strenuous.
2
- Visit to the Gushaini Temple and village - 3 Km road walk to
Gushaini 15 minutes mountainside climb to the Gara Durga
temple at Bandal.
3
- Walk to the Great Himlayan National Park..4 hours
pleasant walk through the forest to the inner entrance of the
park. Daily entry permist required.
4.
Moonlight overnight at the Dev Kanda Ridge : 4 hours strenuous
uphill beyond Nadar to the dominating ridge in the valley.
Spectacular views and enchanting full moon overnight. The
descent downhill the next day though faster is not much easier
than the climb. Highly recommended for those so inclined.
5.
Mountain bike along the forest path to the National Park or
along the roads between Banjar to Gushaini or down hill from
the end of the road at Bathaad.
6-
Visit to the Shalogi / Shanogi Mata temple on the way to Shoja
one of the most picturesque villages in the area.
7
- From Shoja walk to the Jalori Pass ( 3 KM) one of the two
passes connecting the Kullu valley to the Shimla Valley.
Gauranteed snow at Shoja from early December till early April.
8
- Visit to the village of Bathaad (12 KM) and there on to
Bachleo Pass (6 KM). Snow at Bathaad as well from the end of
Deceber to mid February.
9
- Visit to the riverside as often as you desire. As the river
is a stone's throw in front of the Trout House.
10
- Visit to the Sai Ropa Forest Orientation Centre and a walk
on the Nature Trail if you are lucky to induce a forest guard
to take you around. 2 Km from the Trout House
11-
Go swimming in the village pool or on one of the
other numerous walks that are possible in the area if
you are the exploring kind.
