Timber Trail is an idyllic holiday destination. The hustle and bustle of the city is forgotten as soon as one enters the gates of this wonderful resort. Surrounded by wooded hills, the Kaushalya river meanders its way between the two hills with spectacular sunset views.

Timber Trail is spread over two hills connected by a Cable Car which used to be a major attraction for Timber Trail earlier and made Parwanoo into a tourist destination.

Beauty. Tranquility. Comforts. Whatever is your reason to visit this postcard perfect part of the world, Timber Trail Heights has all of them. Situated at an altitude of 5000 feet atop the Shivalik Ranges, the resort is accessible by a Cable Car which in itself is a unique experience as you get the aerial view of the beautiful mountains.

Lush green pine woods lending mystic aroma to the atmosphere, Kaushalya River meandering its way between the two hills, spectacular sunset views creating shimmery magic, your holidays here will definitely turn into an exploration.

Check out the Yellow Splurge of Sarson(Kaaduku in Tamil) called "Sarson ke khet" in hindi.Sarson in bloom in Punjab fields and see the beautiful bloom of sarson.

You would have seen in hindi movie and one of the favourite song of all "Tujhe Dekha To Yeh jaana Sanam"..in film Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, casting Shahrukh and Kajol (Me and my hubby become the charaters of the film Raj Malhotra and Simran Singh (Shahrukh Khan and Kajol respectively) ;-) We saw these fields on the way to Harayana, we just jump out of the car and took some pictures :)

We were shocked to see one board while crossing the highway and we thought that we had come to "Pakistan". Again We came reverse and had a great relief that it was "ISMAILABAD" not "ISLAMABAD" ;-)
