 MORNI HILL STATION

AT

HARYANA

Morni Hills is a hill station in the Panchkula district of the northern state of Haryana, and is situated at a height of 1220 meters above sea level.

 It is believed that the Morni Hills are named after Queen Morni who used to rule this place at one point in history. It is a very serene and calm place and is much appreciated for its scenic beauty.

 The Morni Hills are offshoots of the Shivalik mountain range of the mighty Himalayan range on the north.

There are two lakes and the river Ghaggar meanders through the mountain ranges. These lakes seem to be interlinked since the level of water remains identical in both the lakes, though they are separated by a mountain. These lakes are considered sacred by the local populace.

The journey from Chandigarh to Morni Hills is pleasant and travellers can view pine trees, hill tracks and forest cover on their way. This place is a combination of plain and hill vegetation and the view is a delight to all the travelers.

Morni Hills is an ideal place for a quiet weekend break for people from nearby places, and it remains busy with tourists throughout the year. Morni Hills is known for a large variety of flora and fauna.

 The hilltops are covered by pine trees and slopes are covered by jamun, shisham, jacaranda, ritha, neem, mango, pipal and sal trees. During spring, when the flowers blossom on trees, it is quite a picturesque sight.
