Naddi - A safe heaven


Naddi is a place amidst mountains near McLeod Gunj. We planned the visit to be at a place away from crowd and most importantly Outlandish Music Festival.

Since all know the route to Chandigarh and the Murthal delicacies. I started clicking from the foothill.

Just before the hills were about to start

Rain God were happy with us to bless us with mild showers and wonderful weather.

Amargarh Fort - untouched destination

Amargarh Fort is an old time fort. This is a small fort maintained by a family since 2010 as a hotel and only has 10 - 12 rooms. In real terms we can call this a a heritage hotel and not actually a fort. This seems to be a residential place for a senior official of the king of Karauli.

Trip Route

We had a nice trip starting from Gurgaon approaching Karauli. From Karuli to Amargarh fort was a lifetime road trip going through lush green fields through narrow roads. It was an amazing experience to have tea in a small village alongside.
