Picnics and visits to local historical sites and monuments can be arranged by the hotel and leisurely hours can be spent exploring nearby in Garli and Pragpur.

Pragpur : The little immaculately unchanged 300 year old hamlet has been named a heritage zone and still maintains its unchanged shops, cobbled streets, ornamental village tank, mud plastered and slate roofed houses. It has a quaint market where several silversmiths ply their trade and will quickly modify trinkets to satisfy individual taste. The several village weavers will make shawls and blankets to order and tailors will sew dresses overnight.

Maharana Pratap Sagar: Water and River Sports; Bird Sanctuary; National Wet Land

The Maharana Pratap Sagar reservoir in Kangra with its 42 km length and 2 km breadth, offers a variety of activities in close collaboration with the Directorate of Mountaineering and Allied Sports. Year long activities include swimming, water-skiing, surfing, kayaking, rowing, canoeing and sailing. Three levels of courses are conducted - beginner, intermediate and advanced.

The countryside is ideal for low-level treks and walks particularly for those interested in nature study and bird watching.

Angling: The River Beas with its unspoilt banks (6 km) offers the possibility of swimming and angling during season. The area also lends itself admirably to walks and picnics.

The much-sought mahaseer river carp can also be found in the reservoir of the Maharana Pratap Sagar, Nadaun along the river Beas, Amtar, Harsi Pattan and Lambagaon.

Fishing as well as boat rides is possible in Chamba Pattan near Garli (which has some lovely old houses in Simla architecture).
