About 10km away is the bustling market town of Theog, a longish village strung out on to the hillside like a necklace. Nearby are the temples of the local god, Banthia devta, which shows some brilliant exercises in woodcarving. Those who enjoy camping can stop at Katir (13km from Fagu) which has a camping site.

How to reach there:
The HPTDC (Himachal Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation) conducts daily tours from New Delhi . The Shimla-Kufri-Fagu-Chini Bungalow-Naldhera-Mashobra tour starts at 10.30 am and ends at 5.30 pm (Rs 130- approx USD 3.00 ).

Shimla,
Fagu sounds very interesting, could you give more detail? is it one of the hill stations the British used to escape the hot climate?

Subodh, it's way too short; I'm sure is you add a few more details you'll get a better rating, but you started well.

I was enjoying the start - and suddenly it was over. Remember that many of us only know what you tell us about it - so it must be possible to give far more information.
