  44 km from Shimla, the capital of Himachal Pradesh, Chail is nestled amidst towering deodar, conifer and pine forests and mist-soaked hills. Situated at a height of 2250 m on the spur of the Shivalik hills, this quaint hill town in the Solan district was developed by Maharaja Adhiraj Bhupinder Singh of Patiala after he was barred from entering the then British summer capital Shimla in the late 19th century.

Home to interesting tourist attractions like Chail Palace, the Gurudwara Sahib, Kali ka Tibba, Siddh Baba ka Mandir, Chail Military School, Chail is a perfect destination for a weekend gateway.
