Naldehra Resorts Cottages

The Chalets Naldehra extend from a thickly forested mountain spur and have a view of a deep valley. This is a place for leisure, recreation, family and corporate bonding, adventure, golf and a select venue for conferences. This is not just a place where the ‘room has a view’, but where every window has a different view. Under a starlit sky or on a warm sunny afternoon – or for that matter while the monsoon rain patters on the clear-glass roof or when snowflakes swirl, take a long leisurely swim or just lounge by the poolside of The Chalets Naldehra.

The heated leisure pool of the Chalets has been imported from Australia and placed in a large glass plant-packed hall that seems to bring indoors all the charms of the surrounding woods – it’s almost as if you are swimming with the cedars. The ambiance is relaxed, the water welcoming – and the fireplace by the poolside, blazing.

Shimla (also spelt as 'Simla') derives its name from goddess 'Shayamla Devi', which is another manifestation of Goddess Kali. The capital of Himachal Pradesh came into light when the British discovered it in 1819. Till then, it was a part of the Nepalese kingdom. In 1864 Shimla was declared as the summer capital of India. After Independence, Shimla became the capital of Punjab and was later named the capital of Himachal Pradesh. In 1903 a rail line was constructed between Kalka and Shimla. Shimla is one of the few places in the world where an enormous amount of history and heritage has been distilled into such a small place in so short a time.

Shimla's Seven Hill Attractions The seven hills of Shimla are - Prospect Hill in Western Shimla, which has the temple of Kamna Devi; Summer Hill in Western Shimla, which has the campus of the Himachal Pradesh University; Observatory Hill in Western Shimla, which holds the estate of the Indian Institute of Advanced Study; Invererarm in Western Shimla, whose top has the State Museum; Bantony in central Shimla, which has the Grand Hotel; Jakhoo in central Shimla, which is crowned by the temple indicated to Lord Hanuman, and Elysium in north-western Shimla, which holds Auckland House and Longwood and reaches out towards the Bharari spur.
