An annexe of a heritage property established in 1910, with 3 comfortable rooms & bathrooms, independent kitchen, on the highway, yet allowing for remote privacy. Forming a convenient hub, two hrs. from Chandigarh, and an hour+ away from Simla, Kasauli, Daghshai, Chail & Rajgarh.

SALOGRA HOMESTAY has over a thousand trees and is ideal for private "Shinrin-Yoku" - Japanese for "Forest Bathing".
"Shinrin-Yoku means spending more time among trees. No jogging, no workouts, just quiet contemplation near trees".
(You will find interesting videos and articles on the net, on the scientifically proven therapeutic qualities of Shinrin-Yoku)!

The property is perched on a spur looking upon (sparkling-at-night) Simla to the north and a valley below running west to east. With vistas and views, dancing and changing in rhythm with the four seasons.

Neighbourhood highlights

Salogra, 8 kms from Solan, was one of the early places where the Britishers tried to grow Tea, albeit unsuccessfully. Gen. Dyer's father built his residence in Salogra while he developed India's second Brewery, 2 miles away, in the late nineteenth century.
A quaint Railway Station built in 1898 is a starting point for secluded railway walks through natural countryside and lone tunnels.
For the trekkers - Karol Ka Tibba, Gurkha Fort and Chail:
Karol Ka Tibba is believed to date back to the Pandavas and is supposed to have an escape tunnel from there to Pinjore, which is claimed to have been tested with coloured water. The trek from Salogra to Karol takes the whole day, though there is a shorter route via Kandaghat.
Gurkha Fort dates back to the early 1800s. An initial drive to Dharon-ki-Dhar as base, Gurkha Fort is a two hour walk thereafter, and the imposing citadel is surrounded by dense Himalayan Oak forests.
Day picnics to Asni or Girl Rivers are a short distance away.
Day visits to Kasauli, Chail, Simla, Rajgarh and Daghshai are an hour or so away by road.
SALOGRA HOMESTAY forms a perfect winter hub to see fresh snow just an hour away at Simla, Chail or Rajgarh, or even more pristine locations while avoiding the stifling congestion of the tourist rush.

"There's a place, I can get to Where I'm safe, From the city blues And its green, And its quiet Only trouble was, I had to buy it And I'll do anything I got to do Cut my hair and shine my shoes And keep on singin' the blues If I can stay here in Johnny's garden As the swift bird, flies over the grasses Dipping now and then, to take his breakfast Thus I come and go, and I travel But I can watch that bird, and unravel And I'll do anything I got to do Cut my hair and shine my shoes And keep on singin' the blues If I can stay here in Johnny's garden With his love, and his carin' He puts his life, into beauty sharin' And his children, are his flowers There to give us peace, in quiet hours And I'll do anything I got to do Cut my hair and shine my shoes And keep on singin' the blues If I can stay here in Johnny's garden JOHNNY’S GARDEN by Stephen Stills (Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young) (Must hear it)
