Chail is an aesthetic and splendid hill station in Himachal Pradesh, India. It once served as the summer capital of His Highness Maharaja Adhiraj Bhupinder Singh of Patiala.
Chail is 49 km from Shimla. The Chail Palace is well known for its architectural splendour. The cricket ground and a polo ground which is there at an altitude of 2, 444 m was owned by erstwhile royal family of Patiala.
Chail is also assumed to be a hiker’s paradise. The area is away from the bustling life of the state capital Shimla. Chail casts a spell with beautiful orchids and pine valleys. One gets awestruck to see snow capped Himalayan range glazing amidst the amber rays of the Sun.
Maharaja Bhupinder Singh constructed the highest cricket field in the world in Chail. Well-kept and scrupulously maintained, more than the excitement of the game, it is infact the pitch that offers a picturesque view of the surroundings, with tall forest trees surrounding it.

Located on a spur, on a clear day, Chail offers a fantastic and splendid view of the valley. It is an out-of-this-world experience to look down and see the River Sutlej winding its way between the mountains, overlooking at the same time both Kasauli and Shimla (45 km) further via Kufri.
A must see in this place is the palace of the maharaja. Built on three hills, the palace is on Rajgarh Hill, while the Residency Snow View, which was occupied once upon a time by the British Resident, is on Pandhewa Hill. On the third hill, Sabba Tibba, is the township of Chail. The maharaja had planned this palace as a retreat, replete with all necessary things he’d need for relaxation, and therefore, he built hunting and fishing lodges, which are open to the public.
HISTORY OF CHAIL:
Nestling in the shelter of virgin forests which cover many untrodden hills, Chail is a tiny resort in the Shiwalik region of Himachal Pradesh and has interesting history; The British Government annexed Chail from the Gurkha General Amar Singh in 1814, along with Shimla Hills. Later, the British Government gifted Chail, a quiet hamlet, part of the erstwhile Keonthal estate, to Maharaja Bhupinder Singh.
In 1891, Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala incurred the rage of Lord Kitchener, the then commander-in-chief after he eloped with the latter’s daughter. He was banished from entering the summer capital of the Raj, Shimla. This enraged the Maharaja and he built his summer capital at Chaamitabha boseil, a little village close to Shimla, which ironically was gifted to him by the British earlier.
