Green Valley is a scenic stretch of pine and deodar forest on the road between Shimla and Kufri, known for the yaks often seen grazing here. It's undeveloped for tourism, so it works better as a quick roadside photo stop than a place to spend much time, and looks best from July to October or February to April.
The place is undeveloped for tourism, nevertheless, it continues to be a crowd puller and capture the attention of tourists with its dense deodar and pine trees that line the majestic hills. Rare animals are also sighted here at times. The Green Valley, thanks to its beauty and grace, has also been featured in numerous Bollywood movies.
Note : 1. It is preferable to hire an experienced driver to drive in steep hilly regions of Shimla.
2. You can view the beauty of the distant mountains by buying a pair of binoculars from the local shops for as cheap as INR 50.
3. Do not forget to carry light woollens with you because the weather turns cold as the sun begins to set.
