India /Himachal Pradesh /Shimla /Sarahan
Sarahan in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh is a wonderful location to chill out. The untainted panorama of Himalayan valleys and the lovely settings of snow covered peaks unfurl the magical charm of a typical hilly terrain. The sheer magic of deep woods speckled with deodars, pines, deep ravines, lovely peaks, terraced farms and apple orchards offers a multicoloured bloom to the picturesque settings of this lovely locale. The tranquil and serene trails that are flanked by a canopy of lush greenery would surely entice pilgrims and the casual picnickers alike. As the summer capital of the erstwhile Rampur rulers of Bushahr, Sarahan boasts of a history of so many decades. Sarhan is greatly indebted to these progressive rulers who attributed the grandeur of this pretty location with stunning and imposing structural edifices. One among the famous devout centers, Sarhan is believed to be the abode of Mother Goddess who benevolently blessed this hilly terrain with a blissful look. Marvelous legends and myths about this beautiful landscape enhance the divinity of Sarhan to a great extent. While at this lovely site of lush greenery and slated houses the visitor would definitely feel that he is in the lap of Mother Nature. It would not be expletive to remark that only gods could have dispensed this delightful spot here in the Inner Himalayas.
