Silent retreat
Those who love the offbeat, less-trodden lands can opt for a weekend trip to Barot village in Himachal’s Mandi district. The river Uhl, which nurtures the inhabitants, foliage and wildlife alike, is a perfect breeding ground for fishes, especially trouts. So don’t forget to pack a fishing line. Across the river is Nargu Wildlife Sanctuary, where Himalayan Gorals, Black Bears and several types of pheasants thrive.
There are many trekking trails winding through the tall deodar trees.
