Timber Trail, Parwanoo
Timber Trail
A mountain cable car at Parwanoo, the gateway to Himachal Pradesh, which carries you over the valley to a hilltop resort with views of the Shivalik Hills.
Timber Trail is a hilltop resort at Parwanoo, with an aerial cable car about 1.8 km long. It climbs from the valley floor to an elevation of about 1,500 m, passing pine forests and wide valley views. The top has a restaurant and an observation deck. The round trip takes about an hour. The fare is relatively high, and queues can be long on holidays. It is about 35 km from Chandigarh, on the way to Shimla and Kasauli, so it pairs well with Pinjore Gardens.
Opening hours
Daily, approx. 09:00–18:00 (depends on cable car operations)
