From the Shangarh travel guide
From Harsh's Shangarh travel guide.
Shangarh suits people who want a Himachal village rather than a hill station, walkers, couples, anyone who has done Tirthan and wants the next valley, and motorcyclists who like the Sainj road's hairpins. It suits nobody who wants to camp on the grass with a speaker, and nobody on a long weekend in May who expects to have it to themselves.
