Vayu Kutir - IAF Veteran's Cottage
Overview
Located within Pong reservoir bird sanctuary and perched on high ground near Dehra bridge, Vayu Kutir commands a breathtaking, picture-post-card like view of Beas river meandering into Pong reservoir, with the snow capped Dhauladhar mountain range as the backdrop. The cottage is an ideal 1. Overnight resting place for pilgrims visiting Jwala Ji, Chintpurni, and Baglamukhi temples which are 25 to 35 min away by car. 2. Weekend escape for nature lovers and solace seekers. We are just 3-hr 45-min drive from Chandigarh airport and 1-hr 15-min from Gaggal airport. 3.
