Chail
Chail is a scenic hill station in Solan district, Himachal Pradesh, located about 45 kilometers from Solan city and 44 kilometers from Shimla. It has rich historical significance, having been developed as the summer retreat of the Maharaja of Patiala in the late 19th century after he was exiled from Shimla by the British.
The Maharaja built the impressive Chail Palace on Rajgarh hill between 1891 and 1892, which is known for its unique architecture and is now a heritage hotel. Chail is also famous for having the world's highest cricket ground at an altitude of 2,444 meters. The hill station’s dense forests of deodar and pine, tranquil environment, and trekking opportunities make it popular with nature lovers and hikers.
Chail retains a quiet charm away from the bustle of nearby cities, with a small local community predominantly from the Pahadi culture. Historically, it was part of the Keonthal state before coming under Patiala’s ownership after the Anglo-Gurkha wars, and it served as the summer capital for the Patiala princely state during British rule. Today, Chail combines natural beauty, royal heritage, and outdoor adventure, making it a sought-after destination in Himachal Pradesh.
