The trip was fabulous. Shimla is an amazing place with lots to see and do. Our tour operator was excellent. All of their suggestions and recommendations were solid. We loved our hotel and the location. All the tours were high-quality and we experienced no difficulties with pickups. Mr. Nitin was extremely pleasant to work with and truly wanted us to have a fabulous time.

We cannot recommend this travel company enough! My husband and I had been wanting to go to India for quite some time but had not done so due to lack of time to plan a worthwhile trip. Booking with this company was exactly what we needed--we told them the types of places and sites we wanted to see and they took care of the rest.

I got exactly the vacation I wanted for almost no work and probably cheaper than I could have done it myself. I told this travel company what I wanted and they just did the rest. The hotels and tours/activities were great! Couldn't have asked for more. Great service too they were very responsive and helpful!

Tani Jubbar Lake

Tani Jubbar Lake is situated at a distance of 70 KMs from Shimla towards Thanedhar, Kotgarh. The place is 12 kms from Narkanda. It is a small artificially water fed oval-shaped, shallow mass of water that is more of a pond than a lake. It is encircled by a paved pathway, beyond which are gentle slopes covered with Blue Pine and Spruce trees. It is located in a fascinating place where one can spend some picnic time. The entire area around the lake is enclosed by a thick forest of cedar trees. During a clear sky one can see the snow covered peaks in the far distance which is enchanting. There are open spaces near the lake where adventure travellers can pitch their tent and spend the night under the stars. There is a small village near Tani Jubar and a school with a big open ground.Tani Jubar lake is famous for the Nag Devta temple, where the locals offer prayers to the serpent god. The colorful fair of Tani Jubbar is celebrated annually at Tani Jubbar Lake. Local people and the Deity attend this festival wearing colourful traditional attires. Another place worth a visit is the famous Thanedar village about 20 kms from Narkanda. This is the place where the apple farming revolution in Himachal Pradesh started. Samuel Stokes, an American, came to India in 1904 in search of spirituality. He liked Himachal very much and started social service nitiall among lepers. He later married a local Rajput girl and started to give apple-farming a try. The first apple sampling was brought by him. He brought a sapling of the red, deliciously sweet variety of apples from Philadelphia and planted them in Thanedar. And the rest, as they say, is history. Samuel Stokes who later on converted to Hinduism and named Satyanand Stokes also participated in the India freedom struggle and was jailed by the British India. Unfortunately he died a year before India gained independence in 1947.
