The Shali Tibba is a peak that is hard to miss. It towers over the district of Shimla, right behind the Mashobra ridge. Despite its conspicuousness, however, the peak does not attract as much attention as it deserves. Shali Tibba, at an altitude of 9,423 feet, is surrounded by Shimla, Mashobra, Kufri, Fagu and Narkanda. This stand-alone peak provides a magnificent vantage point for a panoramic 360-degree view of Himachal Pradesh. The road leading to the base camp, Khatnol Village, winds through a quiet and beautiful valley of blue pine and cedar forest. Away from the hustle of Shimla, the trek to Shali Top is beautiful, short and easy and can be completed in a single day. It is an ideal weekend trek in Shimla.
Your journey will start from Shimla. Also, do not forget to pick your Lunch before you leave the city. Onboard your Cab along with your Guide and head towards Khatnol. After a 2.5 hour drive, we finally reach the starting point of our hike. To count a few, the main features of this hike include the clouds dipping in the valleys, hanging cliffs, forested path, trails branching off in both directions, calls of some Himalayan birds, and a few village houses sheltered by the wilderness. Locals visit the temple on the top of the Shali peak almost every week that is dedicated to Maa Bhimakali and is situated on a round-shaped plateau with a square platform on the top. Once we reach the summit, then you are able to see yourself above the clouds, you can hear the birds chirping, and you can feel the cold breeze flowing through your soul. Enjoy the lunch, take photographs, capture the moments in your memory. After that proceed back to the Khatnol Village, and later head back towards Shimla, and your hiking experience comes to an end.
