Chail is one of the foremost honeymoon destinations in North India and also attracts a large number of families, business travelers and adventure sports enthusiasts all through the year. The charming town is situated next to Shimla, the capital city of Himachal Pradesh, and is no less beautiful than its more popular neighbor.
Chail has an interesting history. It used to be the summer capital of Patiala's Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala. In 1891, the Maharaja incurred the wrath of Lord Kitchener and was exiled from Shimla, the summer capital of the British Empire. The Maharaja, in order to avenge this great dishonor, vowed to build a better summer capital than Shimla and his search for such a place ended when he came across the exquisite town of Chail. Chail, with its stunning landscapes, rolling hills, lovely gardens, fast moving rivers and the magnificent mountains, is the perfect holiday destination and the king realized that he had found the place that could truly compete with Shimla in terms of beauty. Chail is in direct vision of Shimla and the fact that its hills are a little higher than those in Shimla added to Chail's desirability in the eyes of the Maharaja. Maharaja Bhupinder Singh built his majestic palace at the top of the hill and on your tours to Chail you must visit this lovely palace that has now been converted into a tourist hotel. Out of all the hotels in Chail, this hotel is perhaps the most popular and is symbolic of the intriguing history of Chail.
