             Shangarh is a very beautiful place, my friend Madan Gopal Ji from Rainbow7 YouTube channel had gone for a visit here, I have also shared some of his pictures with you in this post.

                    There is also a temple of Shangchul Mahadev in Shangarh Village, this is a temple made of stone and wood which is very beautiful.

Place

          Shangarh is situated in the Sainj valley which is in the district Kullu in Himachal Pradesh. To go here you have to go to Mandi from Chandigarh and from Mandi there is a road that goes to Kullu and another one goes towards Shangarh which is situated in the valley and you can go here easily. You can go by road, it gets dark very quickly in the mountains and there can be a lot of problems. So you should get there before it gets dark.

Natural beauty

        Shangarh village is a very beautiful village and there are fields all around and on the other side there is a maidan of every house and there is also a temple there.

I have shared some pictures of the sea with you which my friend gave me or one is on YouTube which I have roamed everywhere in Shangarh and you are already seeing the natural sound in the photo and I have also uploaded the video on YouTube, you can see the video as well.

Peaceful environment

If you go to Himachal, Shimla, Manali, Kullu or Kasol, you will not find the environment as peaceful as the one you will find in Shangarh. The crowds are very less here and even if the crowds are too much, there are open spaces for roaming around.

How to reach Sainj Valley

      You can reach Sainj Valley in many ways like by bus, private vehicle or taxi. To reach here you can also use Airport which is in Bhunter (Kullu) and if you want to come by train then the nearest railway station is Joginder Nagar.

By Bus

   If you are coming from Delhi or Chandigarh then take the bus to Manali and get down in Aut and after getting down in Aut you will get a bus for Sainj Valley but these are mostly available during the day, so come on time. This is the cheapest way to reach Sainj Valley.

By your own vehicle

      If you have your own vehicle then you can directly go on Manali road but the place in between is called Auto. I have to send you towards the sender's place by hand and you will reach on time. Before reaching, book your hotel online because if you do not book online and stay at any place, you may face problem.

By Taxi

      You can also reach Sainj Valley by taking a taxi but it will be a little expensive option here. If you are coming by taxi, the taxi driver will drop you at the sender's place because he knows the way. Even then, I would advise you to book your hotel in advance and reach on time.



My Request

  Shangarh is a very lovely place and it is a beautiful and peaceful place, please maintain peace here, whoever loves nature can come here and this place is wonderful for those who want beauty and peace. 

            Gods and goddesses reside here, therefore I request you not to make noise here and do not spread garbage here as it also harms the environment. Use plastic as little as possible and try to keep it as clean as possible. 

                            If you see anyone spreading garbage here then immediately stop them from doing so. This is a beautiful place and if it gets spoiled then the fun of roaming around here will be ruined. So please contribute in keeping this place as beautiful as it is. 

    Come like a guest and keep it clean like your home. How did you like this post, do write in the comment section and do subscribe to our YouTube channel Ram Himachali Vlogs and also do subscribe to my friend's YouTube channel Rainbow7. You will meet me in the next post.
