The town has a Victorian gentleness about it, possibly because it was discovered by Captain Forsyth in 1857. It appears as if high tea and high collars still govern the place. Much of this ambience has been maintained by the strong presence of the army. The old cottages, meticulously maintained by the Military Engineering Services, have changed little since the days of Kipling.
Here you get to enjoy the legendary sunsets at Dhoopgarh, the Christ Church whose stained-glass panes were imported from Europe. The baptismal font is a rare brass piece and the bell`s chimes can be heard way into the neighboring street. The Catholic Church with its blend of French and Irish architecture is a must-see, as is the Irene Pool discovered by Irene Bose, wife of Justice Vivian Bose, and so named after her. Rivulets, water flowing upstream, so many different shades of green and the natural surroundings blended with the handiwork of man, make this resort a pleasure for the spirit and the senses.
