Shivalik Hills: 




The Shivalik Hills are an outer Himalayan mountain range that was previously known as Manak Parbat. Shivalik literally means 'tresses of Shiva'. Other spelling variations include Shivalik and Siwalik, which derive from the Hindi and Nepali words shiwalik parvat. Other names for these hills include Churia Hills, Chure Hills, and Margalla Hills.


Moksha Himalaya Spa Resort, a tranquil paradise surrounded by the magical and mystical Shivalik ranges, is a wonderful place to spend the weekend with friends or family.


Jawai, Rajasthan: 




Jawai, a small village in Rajasthan's Pali district, is located on the Jawai river. It is now one of the most popular tourist destinations in Rajasthan. Because of a nearby river dam, this area is known as Jawai Bandh. Maharaja Umaid Singh, the then-ruler of Jodhpur, built Jawai Bandh over a 500-square-kilometre area. The Jawai Bandh area is rich in wildlife, with leopards, various bird species, sloth bears, hyenas, crocodiles, and so on. Because of its location between granite hills, the weather near Jawai is always pleasant.


If you prefer a more convenient destination with a mix of wilderness, local experiences, and the luxuries of a stylish resort stay, the recently opened WH Cheetahgrah Resort & Spa in Bera, Jawai is the place to be this time.
