Only Hill Station in Haryana

Myth, mystery & mountain air.

Perched at 1,267 metres in the lower Shivalik ranges, Morni is Haryana's only hill station β€” named, legend says, after a queen who once ruled the area. Pines crown the hilltops while neem, oak, jamun and jacaranda blanket the slopes below.

Near Tikkar Taal stands a small temple containing a 12th-century Trimurti, and the crumbling remains of an old fort hint at a deeper history. Locals still gather at the lake on ceremonial occasions, considering its waters auspicious.
