Few places in Himachal Pradesh offer as beautiful an experience of the Himalayas as Solan. And when you decide to visit Solan, Parwanoo (also spelt Parwanu) emerges as the perfect spot not only for absorbing the serene beauty of the Himalayas but also for a number of unique experiences. 

That’s right – set in the foothills of Himalaya, Parwanoo offers a number of unique advantages that make it very special to explore the majestic beauty of Himachal Pradesh. Besides its natural views of lush greenery and majestic hills, its location close to Chandigarh, Shimla, and Panchkula puts it in proximity to many tourist attractions. So when you decide to visit it, there will be a lot for you to experience. 

In this blog, we’re going to take a look at 5 of those unique experiences that you must have when visiting Parwanoo. Let’s get started! 

#1. A Stroll in Pinjore Gardens

Located only 20 minutes away on the Kalka-Shimla highway, the Pinjore Gardens are one of the most interesting and scenic destinations to explore when you visit Parwanoo. Their beautiful landscaping and Mughal architecture, consisting of pavilions, fountains, and symmetrical gardens, mesmerise you with their majesty, while the chirping of birds adds a layer of natural music to your experience. 

There are 3 palaces inside the gardens, namely Rang Mahal, Sheesh Mahal, and Jal Mahal, all of them uniquely beautiful and scenic in their own right. The gardens look even more stunning at night as they come to life with colourful lights and illuminated fountains. 

#2. Visit to the Mansa Devi Temple

The Mansa Devi Temple is only a 45-minute drive away from Parwanoo, so when you visit the town, it becomes another must-visit destination. Offering a calm and spiritual atmosphere, the triple-domed temple complex allows you to immerse yourself in the devotion of Goddess Mansa Devi and brings peace to your soul. The nearby natural beauty of lush valleys and hills further adds to its charm, making it a truly one-of-a-kind experience. 

#3. Trip to Cactus Garden

Located around 45 minutes away from Parwanoo like the Mansa Devi Temple, the Cactus Garden in Panchkula is also a must-visit site when you come to Parwanoo. The 7-acre botanical garden provides a glimpse of several rare and endangered cacti. Some of the plants found here are extremely rare, and overall, there are more than 3,500 species of cacti here, making it the largest Cactus Garden in Asia. 

#4. Visit to Kali Mata Temple, Kalka

If the Mansa Devi Temple feels a bit too far and you want to have a spiritual experience nearby, the Prachin Kali Mata Temple in Kalka is only a 5-minute drive away from Parwanoo. Dedicated to Goddess Kali and managed by the same Mansa Devi Shrine board that manages the Mansa Devi Temple, this temple provides a peaceful and devotional experience with its calm environment, natural surroundings, and colourful shrine. 

#5. Cable Car from Timber Trail

The cable car from Timber Trail is the only cable car operated in Parwanoo that provides a thrilling adventure amidst the scenic mountains of the Shivalik range.
