A
place of unique beauty is the oak and
pine retreat of Mashobra, 9.6km from
gaiety at an altitude of 2,149 metres
(7,700 ft.), it is unbeatable for an
ideal interlude beneath oak and pine.
To dream the night away and enjoy the
sylvan surroundings, is the equally
beautiful rest house of Craignano and
the Circuit House of Fair Lawns. On
the top of the hill, for the naturalists,
it is considered to be among the most
beautiful rest houses in Shimla Hills.
Just 3km from Mashobra, Craignano is
at an height of 2,279 metres (7,800
ft.). A winding path leads through
the forest of pines up a gentle incline
to the breath taking beautiful gardens
filled with an abundance of flowers,
amidst clumps of trees, in the spacious
lawns, are stone benches and lovely
secluded picnic spots. The area adjoining
to Mashobra is famous for apples orchards.
