Clouds dipping in the valleys, hanging cliffs, forested paths, trails branching off in both directions, calls of some Himalayan birds and a few village houses sheltered by the wilderness are the main features of this trek. There is nothing here that does not fascinate you. You are going to be here with yourself. Locals visit the temple on the top of the Shali peak almost every week which is dedicated to Maa Bhimakali and is situated on a round-shaped plateau with a square platform on the top.

We drive out of Shimla for about 40 kilometre till the bottom of the peak from where a narrow trail whirls up around the hills and through the dense blue pine & cedar forests and Rolling Meadows.

This is an ecological transit zone where you start with the cedar forest, enter the pine trees, and then end in the oak forest. During the British era, this hill was one of the picnic spots of the Brits. This pristine forest is full of birds, flowers, plants, peace, and silence.
