If you love the mountains, we suggest you visit Chail. Himachal, in the winters, is a separate feeling altogether. The crisp chill in the air, twists and turns of the hilly roads that appear less complicated than life altogether.
Far far away from the rat race in Delhi, I sat with a cup of masala tea in the balcony of a hotel in Chail, overlooking the Shivalik range. There was just one line that I could think of there is something about the mountains. The atmosphere actually forces you to pause and introspect even though life asks you to proceed otherwise. Nevertheless, I&rsquo;d rather proceed with my experience at Treehouse Chail Villas rather than musing on philosophy, otherwise this article will never see the light of the day.
I visited Chail in November. Himachal, in the winters, is a separate feeling altogether. The crisp chill in the air, twists and turns of the hilly roads that appear less complicated than life altogether there I go again pine cones, waiting to be collected by tourists who have wanderlust in their blood, the works!
I stayed at Treehouse Chail Villas, located at a classic cut on a ruthless turn in the hilly road of the Shimla district&rsquo;s Bhalawag village. Is Chail Villas actually a treehouse that you read about in Enid Blyton&rsquo;s books? Read on for the answer.
Well, at the centre of the resort, lies a huge tree within a glass enclosure of sorts. &ldquo;We aren&rsquo;t allowed to cut trees here in Himachal. Hence, the tree was preserved and Chail Villas was built around it to give a treehouse-like effect,&rdquo; Nitin Taneja, General Manager, says.
