For the people who love nature and who are also able to try their hand in adventure, one place that should not be missed is the Pandoh Dam Park that is so close to the Pandoh Dam. This park was established due to the fascination with the view that creates the dam alongside the mountains. This makes it suitable for use for example during a picnic, boat riding or bird watching.

Kangra Valley Park is a gem nestled in the middle of Kangra Valley, known for its breathtaking landscapes and rich biodiversity. Surrounded by lush green hills, it’s a fantastic spot to soak in stunning valley views. While the park is famous for its historical significance, it’s also perfect for nature lovers.

Namely, Himalayan National Park – Sarhan

There is another beautiful but less famous park namely Himalayan National Park spotted in Sarhan of Himachal Pradesh. It provides an opportunity to visit beautiful sceneries and have a look at the wildlife. It is located at the backdrop of touched greenery and one can have an eye-splitting view of the white-capped mountains.


Tourists can start several trails for trekking that end at vantage points. It is evident that the park will be ideal for those who want to leave rush city and get close to nature. They further guide the client not to miss out on the beautiful villages around where they can interact with the locals.


Naldehra Golf Course Park

Apart from a golf course, Naldehra also has a beautiful park that is a good attraction to visitors who love nature and adventure. One of the most beautiful parks near Shimla, this one has beautiful tall deodar trees which provide a wonderful walking trail. People can opt for a walk, slow walk or fasting walking in the park amidst the estate.


There is also a fairly natural area of the park in the form of a small lake where people can rent boats. Natural beauty of hills and valleys that lie around is simply stunning and beautiful to say the least. In my opinion there is no way one can go to Naldehra and not appreciate the serene beauty of the place and be comfortable in Naldehra even if one does not play golf.
