In pas couple of decades Barog has emerged from a mere stopover on the highway to a popular and full-fledged destination. Surrounded by pinewoods and views of the valley and the peak of Choor Chandni this is also a convenient weekend getaway from the Delhi Punjab haryana region. Barog is increasingly becoming a popular conference destination too.

Barog’s attractions include the railway station, which is perhaps the most attractive one on the Kalka Shimla Railway line and also has the longest tunnel which is over a kilometer long. You may also hike to the old abandoned tunnel that lies at some distance above the station.
