“I percieve in an instant. Friend your delays on
Mountain after Mountain, Scented with flowers”
Quote – Kalidas (Meghdoot)
Even the great poet hailing from the plains knew that the monsoon clouds tarry on hill tops and embrace mountains on its journey North. 
Poetry apart – Ever walked through a cloud? Walked right through it and got drenched to emerge to an astounding visual symphony of greens and whites and a riot of colours. Ever felt the soothing finger of monsoon rains that seems to make the hills more beautiful. Just be there and out of your window you’ll see the clouds moving from valley to valley, touching its midas finger along the way. When the skies are clear you can see kinnaur kailash in the distance and the Shivaliks too.
Feel the freshness of nature with stunningly beautiful views which one can see only during monsoon season. The temperature drops, light wollens are out – walking through mist and fog and clouds are ethereal, a journey into a fantasy world. The natural vegetation comprises of pine, oak, cedar or Himalayan deodar, and rhododendron, as well as maple and horse chestnut. During monsoons, many wild flower species, wild strawberries are abunduntly found in forest. Cobra Plant is plentiful during monsoons.
The Britishers introduced non-local trees and flowering and the Weeping Willows, Silver Oak and chestnut have fared remarkably well locally. The nearby Chharabra village, part of Shimla Reserve Forest sanctuary and catchment area provides breathtaking views of the Himalayas and a look at the aforementioned flora and fauna and sometimes a jackal, kakkar (barking deer), the occasional leopard, and bird species like the Himalayan eagle, pheasants, chikor and partridges.
Toshali Royal View Resort is just 24 kms off Shimla on the Chail Khufri road. Its not only the views itself. You can visit the 67-meter high Chadwick Falls. There are some ancient temples near the falls too. The museum and the mall have got so many references I am skipping them. Prospect Hill is another nice place on the Shimla Bilaspur road. The ancient shrine of Kamma Devi tops the hill. Jakhoo temple is devoted to Lord Hanuman and considered as the highest point in Shimla. Mashobra, a quaint little village offer pleasurable walks in densely wooded areas. During this time the aged Queen of hill stations comes alive in all its glory. And when you return after a tiring trek the warmth of our hospitality will only be matched by the warmth of your steaming cup of tea.
