About Barot
Located at a distance of around 66 kms from Mandi, the village of Barot is set amidst an astounding beauty of nature. Still far away from the commercial eyes, the village has still managed to retain its old world charm.
Surrounded by thick Deodar forest, the village is bisected by the River Uhl, that provides a great opportunity for angling and fishing aficionados. The village boasts of a Trout Breeding Centre, from where fish are released into the Uhl.
Barot is hidden in the lap of the stunning Chauhar Valley, known for the many temples of local Gods. Dev Pashakot is believed to be the King of the Valley. It also contains some exotic varieties of herbs and flowers having great medicinal values.
Barot is also known for its hydel power project, set up by the Britisher's in the pre independence era. The Uhl river barrage and the reservoir lie in the heart of the village.
Whether you are looking for a time in soulitude, or wish to explore some hidden trails into the middle of nowhere, Barot has got some beautiful surprises rolled up its sleeves. A tiny and sleepy hamlet it may be, but it has got all the ingredients to make your escapade into a lifelong experience.
