Morni Hills
Morni
The only mountain hill station in Haryana, with pine-lined mountain roads, twin lakes at Tikkar Tal and a small fort, ideal for a weekend drive.
Morni Hills lies about 35 km northeast of Panchkula, at an elevation of about 1,200 m. The mountain road winds through pine forests, and the air is cooler than on the plains. The main attractions include Morni Fort, which houses a small natural history museum, the twin Tikkar Tal lakes where you can go boating, and viewpoints along the way. On clear winter days you can see the Himalayas in the distance. Tourist facilities are basic, so it suits self-drivers or a day trip by hired car. The mountain roads have many bends, so take motion-sickness medicine if needed.
