Steps  to climb Karol Tibba/Peak :



PICTURE: Karol Tibba


Step-1


Base is the Chambaghat. So firstly, you need to reach Chambaghat, this station is situated on the Kalka-Shimla National Highway and 2 kilometers far away from the ISBT Solan and  Solan Railway Station. 


Step-2

  Then, you have two options to climb this peak, by trek or by road but the road ends halfway. If you like going through roads you need to take Chambaghat - Kandaghat link road and after 2km. take another link road this is a bumpy road.


Step -3 

 If you like trek then climb from Chambaghat and enjoy the beauty of the mountain.


Step -4 

 After climbing 2 km. you find the endpoint of that link road which is mentioned before.


Step-5 

    When you cross that road the thick forest starts. Where are a plethora of beautiful scenic spots.


Step -6 

      A kilometer before the peak you find your way is divided into 2 directions, upward way for peak and another led to the karol Kutiya ( here occasionally organised 'Community Feast'). But our destination is karol tibba so we take the up route.


Step -7 

Finally, after the  trek of 5 km. we got our destination -'The Karol Tibba'.


At a Glance

 History of Karol Tibba

      It is a local recognition that the Karol is a part of ' The Sanjeevani Mountain,' which was taken by Lord Hanuman to save the life of Lord Lakshamana. It could be true because, KAROL means  'Hand Dropped'.



History of The Cave

  It is also a local recognition that 'The Cave' was made by Pandavas at the time of their exile. It seems true because it is too long and deep, it's another opening at Pinjore (Haryana).



 Caution:  

                 Although there is a water tank, the water supply is often choked. So, don't take the risk to go without water.
