Barog,Himachal pradesh,India

Barog is a sleepy little town of Himachal Pradesh. It is located in the Solan district of this state and makes a delightful place to go on a tour, while in Himachal Pradesh. This place, surrounded by lush green locales gets its name from an engineer named Barog.

Early mornings are very beautiful in Barog with the dew on pine trees glistening in light sunshine. Soft rays of the sun paint the snow-capped peaks a bright orange and the morning mist makes the surroundings absolutely divine.

Barog provides scenic views of the Solan valley and is the only hill station in India with a registered camping site with basic facilities, where one can either put up one's own tent or rent one for nominal charges. The long winding roads and exotic scenery are ideal to go on an excellent drive.

Barog also has the longest tunnel on the Kalka-Shimla toy train route. It is a real experience crossing that tunnel to reach Barog as it turns pitch dark and very cool even in broad day light as one reaches the center of the tunnel.

Experience the beauty of untouched natural surroundings when you travel to Barog. These breathtaking views have a dream-like quality to them and make an idyllic setting for the tourists pouring in to enjoy the miraculous beauty of Nature.
