Sarahan Tour Packages

Sarahan, located in the Shimla district of Himachal Pradesh and known as the gateway to Kinnaur, is a serene mountain village surrounded by apple orchards and panoramic Himalayan views. A highlight in many Himachal Pradesh tour packages, it is most famous for the revered Bhima Kali Temple, one of the 51 Shakti Peethas, built in distinctive wooden Himachali architecture. The village also offers clear views of the snow covered Shrikhand Mahadev Peak, a traditional Royal Palace complex beside the temple, and a Bird Park that houses the rare Western Tragopan. With peaceful village walks, short trekking routes, and seasonal apple orchards, Sarahan blends spirituality, heritage, and natural beauty in a calm setting away from tourist crowds.

The best time to visit is April to June and September to November for pleasant weather and clear mountain views, while winters bring heavy snowfall and a scenic white landscape. Sarahan is about 160 km from Shimla via Rampur and can be reached by road, with the nearest railhead and airport located in Shimla. Accommodation includes simple guesthouses and government rest houses, and advance booking is recommended during temple festivals. Travellers should carry warm layers even in summer, wear comfortable walking shoes, enjoy local Himachali cuisine, and consider exploring nearby Rampur, Jeori, and further destinations in Kinnaur.
