Chamba Sightseeing - Saho

Saho is one of the prettiest villages in Himachal Pradesh. It is located on a breathtaking plateau and is on the right bank of River Sal. Hidden in groves of trees, you can see the very famous Shiva Temple. Here, Lord Shiva is worshipped in his moon-crowned or Chandrashekhar manifestation. Two huge Shiva statues guard the entrance to temples and there is also a Shivaling. The Nandi Bull faces the entrances and is a beautifully carved image in itself. There are also natural springs behind the temple and the water is supposed to have medicinal properties. Saho Village is famous for this temple as well as the annual fair held in August and September. If you decide to visit in summer, you?ll be treated to a golden-hued village, as the wheat crop is ready to be harvested and the paddy fields are lush and rich with green. That's probably why many trekkers choose Saho as a starting point of their treks or include it in their trail. There is also a Forest Rest House here should you want to stay. Basically, any time of the year you choose, Saho never disappoints!
