Morni Hills

The Morni hills are a delightful hillside destination just 45 km from Chandigarh. These hills are an off-shoot of the Shivaliks and run in two parallel ranges from south-east to north-west. Between them, the ground is broken by projecting spurs. Through these valleys the river Ghaggar makes its way.
Haryana Tourism caters to tourists here from its Mountain Quail tourist resort. A comfortable motel is situated ideally on the hill top overlooking a beautiful valley. A delightful restaurant and a bar with lush green lawns beckons tourists.
Among the spurs of the hills, lie two lakes. The larger is about 550 metres long and 460 metres broad. The other lake is 365 metres either way. A small hillock divides the lakes, but there is some hidden connection between the two, as the water level of the two lakes remains the same. In the hills the remains of an old fort speaks of the history of the place. Locals tell us that the fort belonged to the Queen of Morni Hills. The upper crest of the hills are covered by pine trees. The climate is salubrious and the hills provide ample opportunities for trekking.
For water sports like boating, canoeing, kayaking and sailing, a minimum depth of 5 to 6 feet is required, which is also available in the lakes we see here.
The picturesque location of Morni hills, is an excellent retreat from maddening crowds and pollution. Crowned by pockets of pine trees, the hills look green and blue.
