With innumerable waterfalls and lush nature, Rajgarh is a relatively less crowded place which makes it one of the quietest and relaxing destinations for a vacation away from the hustle and bustle of the cities.
The Leopard's Den is just 3 and a half kilometers ahead of Rajgarh. Our place is literally the nature lover's paradise: all you'll find around are pine and rhododendrons forests, terraced fields and orchards.
-Take a walk to one of the traditional Himachali villages nearby and other hikes around the property.
-Head to the river for a picnic
-Trek to Churdhar peak
-Go birdwatching - the huge chunk of reserved forest next door ensures an amazing variety of species.
-Pay a visit to the famous Bhuira Jams women's cooperative.
All this if you get tired of lazing in the sun on our beautiful lawn, that is!
