Nothing much to see there,,, A few apple trees which they call as apple garden,,, me & my wife were there on 05/06/2022,,, If you wanna do some small adventure like horse riding on a manmade worst rock and mud path & a short couple zip lining, or rope pool etc then ok,,, Otherwise for only view purpose it's waste of time

Place to rip off tourists, especially when there is no snow. It starts at horse riding point where horse owners sell 500/- per ride and few other activities like zipline, apple orchard visit and so on for extra money. Horse ride path is a dangerous steep path filled with stones at the back of ill-fed horses, enclosed and filled with wet mud on both ends so that visitors are forced to take the ride. Then they take 20/-, 10/- per head at two places calling it some "Panchayat Tax". When you finally reach top, there is nothing interesting, dusty place and a view of far mountain ranges. The best vantage point to watch moutains is also captured by quarrelsome locals who charge 200/- per head to let peopl go up their made-up ramp called "Telescope Point". Apple orchard is empty during summer and all the other activities require lot of walking up and down steep path which may end up hiring another horse. If you are into tiring day long adventure and paying for it at every step, this is a good place. Else skip it and instead spend a day extra in Manali if it is already in the itinerary. If not, spend the day at Shimla Mall road or Toy train.
