Situated on the Club Hill is the majestic Hotel Himalaya castle.

The Himalaya Club, now Hotel Himalaya Castle, was one of the most happening places in the Queen of Hills during the British Raj. It was considered an important tourist destination.

The club was constituted in 1841 with 148 members. Col Fredrick Young was its president and George Bacon vice-president. The number of members was not limited. The original shareholders were considered members while others were admitted by ballot. Among luminaries who were part of the club were PW Mackinnon, Col (retd) Rennie RAMC and J Banks.

John Lang, who spent a major part of his life at the Himalaya Club, describes the view from one of the bedrooms as: “From the back of the club house, from your bedroom windows … you have a view of Deyrah Dhoon. It appears about a mile off. It is seven miles distant. The plains that lie outstretched below the Simplon bear, in point of extent and beauty, to the Indian scene, nothing like the proportion which the comparatively pigmy Mont Blanc bears to the Dewalgiri. From an elevation of about seven thousand feet the eye embraces a plain containing millions of acres, intersected by broad streams to the left, and inclosed [sic] by a low belt of hills, called the Pass. The Dhoon, in various parts, is dotted with clumps of jungle, abounding with tigers, pheasants, and every species of game. In the broad tributaries to the Ganges and the Jumna, may be caught (with a fly) the mahseer, the leviathan salmon. Beyond the pass of which I have spoken you see the plains of Hindoostan.” Famous staircases at the club where Britishers would pose for pictures are still intact.

Nestled amidst the hustle bustle and cultural hub of Happy Valley is the Shedup Choepelling Temple. The huge idol of Buddha on top of the edifice livens up the place and gives a unique charm to the tiny Buddhist temple. Just a short walk away from us it’s a peace haven for all to immerse themselves in the divinity of Lord Buddha.
