Q: We have been suggested a place called Misty Meadows Resorts near Kasauli (Himachal). We intend to spend 3N in October. Do you have any details of the place? Is transport available from Chandigarh railway station? Is the weather okay at that time of the year? We are seven couples, all 70 plus! Any nearby places we can visit? Hope it is a budget friendly property.

Marco Says: The answers to all your questions are readily available at one place: the Misty Meadows website (mistymeadowsresorts.com). Briefly, it’s located in Solan, near Kasauli; they can arrange for transportation from Chandigarh station; places to visit include Kasauli town, Chail, Kufri, Jatoli temple and Paonta Sahib. The weather will be turning nippy around this time but unlikely to be unbearably cold. Rooms cost from ₹4,000 a night.
