Shoja Camp
Shoja, Himachal Pradesh.

|
The thickly wooded mountainside, densely populated with conifers, deodars and toosh characterize the beauty and uniqueness of Shoja. With unending slopes of emerald forests, verdant and pristine, nature is at its most alluring.
Located in Seraj valley, still undiscovered by many, Shoja is a breathtakingly beautiful place. The mornings in Shoja are particularly invigorating. One can just stroll around, walk up to the meadows or perhaps take the pathway into the jungle. Nature lovers can enjoy thick wooded hill slopes starting from bottom as far down or up or sideways or deep as one can look. One can see the great snow clad peaks beyond the tree line and some great cloud formations.

This little village is 5 kms from the Jalori Pass that links the Shimla and Kulu districts. The Retreat is a solid cedar wood house surrounded by thickly wooded forests from which you get a panoramic view of the snow covered Himalayan ranges in the distance.
The numerous walks and treks in the surrounding forests and meadows are a special feature of the area and the drive to the resort is a pleasure in itself.
