Solan is a small little hill town located on the foothills of Himalayas at an elevation of about 1600 metres in the enchanting North Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. Extensive mushroom farming, aptly nicknames this little town as the ‘Mushroom City of India’. Well that is not all!

Captivating scenic beauty dotted with snow-capped hills, lush meadows, fascinating forest trails and expansive mushroom plantations is what makes this tiny hamlet a delight for nature lovers and soul seekers alike. Go for some leisure strolls on winding roads, witness raw nature, pick some tomatoes from the farms, listen to the chirps of birds, or just sit back and relax in your hotel balcony sipping some hot tea, and you are sure to find that profound peace and solace which is now somehow lost in today’s busy lives.
