Devdar | Deodar | Himalayan Cedar | Cedrus Deodara

The most prized Himalayan tree!

Inspite of numerous efforts to protect the highly valuable Devdar tree by locals and government, it has become hard to find lush, dense Devdar forest without going deep into the wild in last few years.

Thankfully, we have Hidden Hamlets around Parashar Lake, tucked away from mainstream tourist spots where you can soak yourself in the beauty of imposing grand Devdar forests.

PS- Be a responsible tourist and help us in maintaining and preserving these forests and its pristine sheen!

Location- Bhanuthi village, Mandi, Himachal Pradesh
