The place is situated in the Dhauladhar mountains of Himalayan region. The mesmerizing views of Uhl and Lamba Dug Valley make you get lost in nature. The forests and mountains give you never-seen-before views. The scenic drive is beautiful and doesn't let you miss a single glimpse of nature.

Getting Here:  The place is 600 km from Delhi.
 
One route to reach is via Delhi-Chandigarh-Kiratpur-Bilaspur-Mandi-Ghatasani-Barot
Another route is via Delhi-Chandigarh-Una-Kangra-Palampur-Baijnath-Jogindernagar-Ghatasani-Barot
Both routes have their own essence and beauty.
Once you reach Ghatasani take a way upwards towards Barot. It is 25 km from Ghatasani through beautiful roads but needs expert drivers as it's a single road.
 
This beautiful village is located in the Dhauladhar mountain range, which is a part of Himalayan range on the banks of Uhl River in Himachal Pradesh. It is situated at approx 600 km from Delhi. The village is accessible by road and has average public transport facility.

The place is basically known for a hydral project which is under Punjab government from the time of british rule. Barot is a beautiful village and definitely an unexplored region. Two rivers (Uhl and Lamba Dug) from different valleys meet here.

Dam at barot on the uhl river for storing the water for hydral project ( project is still punjab govt. undertaken)

The village is 7 km from Barot and the drive is beautiful. The scenic road goes through the banks of Lamba Dug river and beautiful forest. A beautiful waterfall comes on the way. The road is not pretty good as there is no charcoal on the road and small cars are not recommended But you can manage if there is no other option because the distance is only 7 km. I myself drove an Alto k10 but it took 30 minutes for 7 km. The village has a small market where you can buy local antique items. Rajmah is pretty famous item in this region. Local shawls and stoles are manufactured here using old "khaddis". The place is really cheap in terms of cost.

The place is just 2 km ahead of Barot and falls in Kangra district. There is a small market and a few accommodations here. The Uhl river separates the land in two districts. Mandi district is on the other side of river.
