Mashobra Tourist Attractions

Mashobra Situated in Himachal Pradesh, Mashobra is one of the beautiful places which attract tourists from all over. Sipur is a lovely place closely located to Mashobra that is nice tourists hang out. The tiny settlement of Mashobra was the first choice of families who wanted proximity to as well as privacy from the summer capital Shimla. Decades after they left, their indulgence still marks Mashobra’s stylish properties.

The best time to be here is at sunset, when gold tings covers the snow capped mountains. The walk to the helipad is best preceded by a short visit to the retreat, where you can take a peek at the secluded country cottage at the top of the hill.

Atop Mashobra sits a forlorn Church, which has now been converted into a dormitory by the YMCA. This morose looking structure was originally known as St Crispin’s Church and according to the inscription to the glory of God.

The drive from Mashobra to Bekhalti is one of the prettiest in the region. The 18 km road meets Theog on the old Hindustan Tibet road. Just off dhalli towards the Kufri raod lies Seog, a reserve forest whose ancient cedar trees make you feel like a pygmy. A 7 km walk inside brings you to a water reservoir built in 1901. A well situated forest rest house is a welcome break for a cup of tea. Kept out of bounds for travelers for years, this jungle oasis has preserved an aastonishing variety of flora and fauna.

Kufri and Fagu

The undulating slopes of salubrious kufri 8,602 ft guarded by the vast expanse of ancient cedar forests, bring back memories of day long picnics, horse riding and languorous walks during lazy hazy summer hols. Mahasu Peak, the highest point in Kufri, makes a challenging hike. When the sky’s a cloudless blue, watch for those inviting views of the snowy peaks of the Badrinath and Kedarnath ranges.

Freezing ears, numbed fingers, hot gulab jamuns and spicy punch. Spending the winter on Kufri’s snow mantled ski slopes is a time honoured tradition revived every year with the return of the snows in late December till February early March. The hills come alive with the shouts of young voices as kids pelt snowballs at each other and make snowmen. Bands of ski enthusiasts from all over the country drift from the snowy fields of Kufri to Narkanda in search of the finest ski slopes to flaunt their expertise. Your hotel will be happy to arrange equipment about Rs 500 a day for sticks ski boots, etc. For non skiers, there are the placied yak rides or the shrieking delights of tobogganing.
