-TIMBER TRAIL
Timber
Trail Parwanoo. Two exotic resorts rolled into one. Timber Trail
Resort, Parwanoo and Timer Trail Heights, Banasar.
Nesting cozily in
the lap of the Shiwalik ranges, atop two adjacent hills and joinded
together with a cable car, timber trail is an idyllic holiday
destination. Though ust a few kilometers away from bustling Chandigarh,
the hustle and bustle of the city is forgotten as soon as one enters the
gates of this wonderful resort. Surrounded by wooded hills, the
Kaushalaya river meanders its way between the two hills..
Hills where the
could pause to rest and time stands still.
The air, full of
pine scent and bird songs, Timber Trail takes one's breath away. A world
of spectacular sunsets, nature paints the sky in unbelieveable colurs,
And as darkeness creeps in the distant lights of Chandigarh take over ot
create the shimmering magic of a million stars.
