EP 3 Kufri, Fagu village food, Chail, Shimla district, Himachal Pradesh Food, Things to do,

Most travellers spend half a day at Kufri and at most half a day at Chail. During this journey of Shimla district, especially places in and around Shimla i realised that Kufri and Fagu deserve greater time.
If you want to stay away from hustle and bustle of Shimla than fagu is a good option.
I noticed that Fagu valley has beautiful scenic view infact better than what you experience from Kufri.
I noticed that there are adventure activities in Kufri, most important of all - Horse ride is a must do activity in Kufri.
I also got chance to explore local food of Himachal pradesh. Details of food i had in this food journey is given below for your ready reference.
Day 4
Saaket Home Stay: I stayed here for one night. Only thing for which i was not comfortable here was that they have common bathroom and common toilet among 3 rooms..
From food perspective it was an amazing experience, owner of the house is very nice person.
Meal: Rs 200 per person
Tariff: Rs. 1500 to 2000 off season
Rs. 2000 to 2500 on season
Address: Fagu/ Sarioun, 1.5 km from fagu bus stand, nh-5
09418534011, 07018341348
Location: goo.gl/GXk5xh
Day 5
Extreme Adventure: They have couple of adventure activities here at Kufri this place. Apart from this there are 4-5 more spots in Kufri where travellers can do adventure sports largely catered for children.
While i enjoyed flying fox but i think speed and height from which it was done was more for children then for adults seeking adventure.
Flying Fox: Rs. 400
Horse Ride: Rs. 500
Address: Kufri - Chail Road, Kufri, Himachal Pradesh 171012
Location: goo.gl/tCNSW9
Chail Palace: This was summer captial of Maharaja of Patiala. You may want to stay here overnight or just travel here for lucnh or snacks...
Address: Chail Palace, The, Palace Rd, Chail, Himachal Pradesh 173217
Location: goo.gl/GV3Lk3
Sony Dhaba: Amzing food, simple and home cooked type food. Very old shop, this has huge number of following among people. If you visit this place once, you will feel like going there again and again, this is 4 kms short of Chail.. Between kufri and chail road.
Meal: Rs.170
Address: 2 km before Chail Palace, Kandaghat-Chail-Kufri Road, Janedghat, Himachal Pradesh 173217
Location: goo.gl/NKhLGm
The Apple Blossom: This is guest house of Himachal Tourism, old property, average room service, only winning story of this guest house is bigger room size.
We enjoyed Himachali food sweet dish at Apple blossom.
Bathu Kheer: Rs. 105
Address: National Highway 22, Fagu, Himachal Pradesh 171209
Location: goo.gl/v4cYNN
It will be great to see your experiences about Himachal Pradesh food and places to visit in comments below.
Key information that you should know in advance if you undertake trip to shimla:
Time to avoid: 15th May to 15th July - very high traffic.
Snow fall time in Shimla: 25th Dec to 31st jan - it does snow 2-3 times. But if you want more snow or want to do skiing - go to Narkanda.
This video you just saw is about Narkanda.
How to travel: By air, train, cab, your car.: My suggestion don’t take your car if you plan to go to only shimla, its hard to find parking space in shimla, unless you are sure that your hotel provides parking space.
Himachali food: Yes its good but to enjoy the food, you should have taste for pure ghee, in most food Ghee is served as side serving.
Since i spent 8 full days in Shimla, i have developed decent knowledge about this place, should you have any query, please feel free to ask in comments below. I will look forward to hear back on this from you
Thanks for your time.

पहाड़ी खाने की खास बात यह है कि यह सादा होता है, घी के बिना हमारा खाना अधूरा है, मगर स्वाद में कोई कमी नहीं होती । यह एपिसोड बहुत मज़ेदार था । एक पहाड़न ।

Loving these Himachal videos the way you've shown all the rural dishes and culture and covered tourist places as well. Please make a separate series on rural food and culture for all states, villages still have the heritage that cities have lost and I'm sure you'll love it. Looking forward to see more of this kind of videos.

I am continuing to be impressed with your Himachal journey.. The local food, though some don't look too appetizing, are nevertheless very interesting and unique.. Kufri seems to have been spoilt due over tourism.. Sad.. Will follow your journey further.. 👍👍👍

[@visa2explore]

you are right Kufri has more tourist than what the place can hold on infra but yes Fagu 5 km away still continues to have rural touch

[@avimedico]

Honestly speaking, this series of himachal, is the best ever. Best of all the videos so far.

[@visa2explore]

point taken, as we go, i will try and do this where ever possible... i went to attend a local marriage in Narkanda but could not shoot there as people who had to give permission were parents and baraat was at the door, then we didn't bother them for our thing... but we had good time seeing the customs.. as we went there through a invitee for the marriage
