Chamba a not much noticed, a small hilly town, 50 kms from Mussoorie, another hill station in the Indian state of Uttaranchal, is a place which is quiet and picturesque, where the only thing that visitor shall lose is his fatigue.There is another Chamba in Himachal Pradesh, but here we are talking about Chamba of Uttaranchal state.
The intervening mountains, and deadly passes amongst them, the snow clad lines on the mountains, the small dusty roads and tracks with the lines of deodar and pine trees, with the only traffics of cattle and mountains goats and of course the cool and pleasant Himalayan air, that is what can be a sum of Chamba.
Chamba is at the altitude of 1500 meter so the place is very comfortable for non-climbers.
Surkhanda Devi temple at the top of hill top en route to Chamba is another attraction.
But Chamba is famous for something more, Rani Chauri.
Rani Chauri is just 13 kms from Chamba, an excellent place for campers to enjoy the spectacular snow capped hills sitting in the warming sun, within the pine and deodar forests.
The only thing you hear here is birds singing the heavenly songs and rustling sounds of pine leaves.
Tour operators here organize the rock-climbing, trekking and some people just settle down here with canvas and painting brush.
In fact some corporate encourage their fatigued top brass to take the break at Rani Chauri.
