from the scorching summer but most of them are crowded during this time of the year. Under these circumstances, the challenge is to find cool getaways which are beautiful, cool and more importantly not crowded.

Narkanda is located at an altitude of 2708 meters and is an ideal destination to seek seclusion in the mountains. Narkanda is located on Hindustan Tibet Road (NH-22) and is just 65 km from Shimla.
