Narkanda... Heaven on Earth!

Narkanda, a small place some 80 Kms from Shimla is a heaven for people who want a quick heal from the highly stressful and demanding urban livelihood. Not many good options to stay there, I zeroed in to Agyaatvaas and Tethys (by Aamod) and trust me both are good.

However, if you are adventurous and looking for a divine and pure experience of staying deep in the jungle then go for Agyaatvaas. It is not that luxurious but that's not what you want when you look for rejuvenation, isn’t' it? The road from Narkanda to Agyaatvaas is some 6 Kilometers but is challenging and you need a football size heart to drive there (of course if you do not belong to hills) and yes a good vehicle, ideally an SUV, however, smaller cars with good ground clearance will do too.

You have got plenty of spots to target there but you will have to be ready for trekking (all within 3 Kilometers radius). Karena Peak and Hatu Peak are two main spots you can target. You can use your vehicle as well to reach Hatu but I will not recommend using vehicles there, use your legs. Be ready to face wild animals like bear or tiger.

Trust me, spend 3 days there and you will be full of energy for the next six months.

Enjoy. Let there be life !
