PARK WOODS, Shoghi - Accommodation Bamboo Huts and Swiss Cottage  Tents

How does one steal an offbeat storybook vacation, get to stay in the 'lap of nature', in the midst of a 20 acre forested estate, surrounded by undulating valleys and hills, romanced by flaring sunset skies yet get all the at-home comforts? How?? One chances upon the Parkwoods Forest Retreat (near the popular hill station of Shimla in Himachal) or is perhaps lucky enough to come here by design. This place offers bamboo huts with thatched roofs contributing to the rustic ambience of the retreat. For a more forested ambience and a whiff of adventure, many prefer the swiss cottage tents. All the units have heating in winters, attached bathrooms with modern facilities, running hot and cold water and private sitouts. In this forest resort, besides the sunrays filtering through the pines, the ground being bathed in soft moonlight at night, the guests also have the comfort of proper electricity - the Edison kind !.
