Of all the offbeat places in Shimla, I find Chail one of the prettiest for obvious reasons. The hill-station area placed 44 km from Shimla is a refreshing getaway in the vicinity of Delhi.

The Raksham-Chitkul wildlife sanctuary is a popular attraction in the region, which is home to wildlife species such as leopard, blue sheep, Himalayan black bear, Himalayan brown bear, and musk deer.

8. Chitkul

Reaching Chitkul is as easy as it gets. Hire a cab from Reckong Peo which is located 60 km far and offers a great road connectivity with major cities in Himachal Pradesh. There are public buses plying in tandem from Reckong Peo to Chitkul, however, cabs are still a better option as they are available for most of the time. The ride through Sangla Valley is truly a remarkable one with plenty of twists and bends.The best thing to do in Chitkul is to indulge in the pleasant views in the offering and soak every bit of it.

9. Kaza

If you are planning a visit, there are New Kaza and Old Kaza for you to explore. While Old Kaza is all about the palace, monasteries, gompas, and ancient buildings, the New Kaza is all about government buildings, restaurants, and tourist point of contact. I’d still say Old Kaza, with its vast landscapes and lush meadows, is any day the top charmer here.

10. Chanshal pass

Perched atop the Chanshal Peak, Chanshal Pass is the highest pass in the Shimla region. The best part is that being counted among the offbeat places in Himachal you won't find the place too crowded. Slush, loose rocks, and super narrow roads (at times) make Chanshal one of the most obscure places to visit in Himachal.Be reassured that you'd be greeted by strong chilly wind no matter what time of the year it is. And no matter how notorious the roads and weather here are, once you get to Chanshal the views and humbling nature around would leave you a mute spectator. Most of the travelers plan to go camping and enjoy adventure activities at Chanshal. The fun part is, even during the peak summer season, this place occasionally experiences zero degree temperature at night.

11. Mashobra
