Jubbal
book a hotel
(Himachal Pradesh)


Highness

This is one for lovers of reclusive and exclusive natural retreats, connoisseurs of the eccentric and eclectic with a yen for the good life. Headquarters of an erstwhile princely state, Jubbal's newest claim to fame is its superbly refurbished palace-turned-heritage property.
And this in the midst of a rural outpost hidden from the prying world and Old Man Time in a manner that would do the Grimm Brothers proud. You almost expect to walk in and find a Sleeping Beauty, but it is Snow White's bane that is the fruit of this valley of temples. When your palate wants refreshing after the local dainties, walk into the region's renowned orchards for a bite of the local crop non pareil apples, of course!
For more enterprising adventurers, there's sights and tribes galore to explore in the quiet miles around.
