Fagu - A Site With Panoramic View
Distance : 22km from Shimla, 6km from Kufri
 Sedentary
or strenuous, for the expert or beginner, Himachal has a niche of
adventure for everyone. Looking at any tourist map of the state, one
wouldn’t think of Fagu as any major spot. Well, it is not. But
the place does hold some surprises for those who wish to tread the off
beat track.
¤ Main Attractions
Fagu is a vantage point with a panoramic view of ranges and valleys.
It serves as a good base for exploring the nearby countryside which is
flooded with orchards and forests.
About 10km away is the bustling market town of Theog, a longish
village strung out on to the hillside like a necklace. Nearby are the
temples of the local god, Banthia devta, which shows some brilliant
exercises in woodcarving. Those who enjoy camping can stop at Katir
(13km from Fagu) which has a camping site.
¤ Accommodations
HPTDC’s Hotel Peach Blossom is the only decent hotel in Fagu. It
has enormous rooms with old fireplaces – excellent for lazy days
in winter.
