With your back to Shimla, and your foot on the accelerator, you could be forgiven for nonchalantly whistling through Naldehra, except for a teeny-weeny detail that tickles your cognitive abilities. The fenced corridor you just drove through wasn't erected to stop you from rolling over the hill. Feeling like a bull that has charged out of town for a mouthful of luscious grass, you screech to a halt, grey cells kicking in it's a golf net! Which means and you take a 180o spin there must be a golf course around. There is. All around you.
Feeling sufficiently silly, park at Golf Glade Hotel, find refuge in the caf and camouflage your silly smile with a glass of beer. Welcome to Naldehra.
Be warned that though Naldehra's interiors, with their spruce pines, plum trees and berries, have thus far escaped trampling, things look set to change, given the amount of construction activity. Another teeny warning: the view of the snow-crowned Himalayan Ranges is blocked for the most part by Shaily Peak and its less impressive sisters.
