This forest is absolutely stunning with natural beauty, greenery, trees, fresh air and sound of birds. It's a beautiful place where people can proceed their journey to Khajjiar, Jot and Dainkund Peak or they can start trekking from the entry of Kalatop Wildlife Sanctuary. Trekking is moderate but provides unreal views. Since this area is a wildlife sanctuary there is a threat of bears as well. Although it's a tourist area and safe in daylight. But people should be cautious that they are not alone(animals live here too)here and don't walk alone.

Kalatop is a wildlife sanctuary..... Here wild can be found...... And here also have adventurous activities...... For that walk 3 km inside the forest.... Great view..... The experience pf walking between inside the forest is amazing.... Can't even imagine and explained...... You should try once.......

Good place to visit. Kalatop is near to Lakkadmandi in HP also called as snow point. This is a small place but good for time pass. There is a rope based adventure game also but we did not prefer this. On the day of our visit (22.1.21), luckily heavy snow fall occurred. It was the nice moment for me and my family. Earlier we had not seen falling ice. The way to Khajjiar is from Kalatop. As we proceeded for Khajjiar, our vehicle got struck in middle of Kalatop to Khajjiar due to heavy snow fall and we had to returned back on foot to hotel leaving our vehicle there. However, we enjoyed a lot with the climate.

Wonderful trek walk to Kalatop forest. The walk is 2 kms. Cars can drive to top through narrow roads. But it's best to walk and watch the nature. On top there is forest guest house nice lawns, a restaurant and beautiful scenic view. You can see lots of butterfly and birds. There are wild animals but seems to be a safe walk in day time. Do take water and basic biscuits as it is a uphill trek. I loved it.

The place in itself is nice with a breathtaking view of the valley. But the 3 km walk from Lakkad Mandi is a must. It's very serene and refreshing covered with thick and huge deodar trees, it's a very nice experience

Absolutely loved going here in June. The forest is absolutely beautiful. Most beautiful forest I've ever been to! There are food areas in it from where you can eat Himachal food. It was also very cold in some areas and blood also froze a little bit. I would recommend bringing a jacket with you. View was wonderful. Also Lootera movie was shot here. Overall, Loved it!

This a forest turned into a tourist attraction. The place claims to contain animals like deers and has boards for snow leopard(lol), tiger and birds. Reality- expect no animals to be seen as the path inside forest has cars which honk due to single lane, yet even if u go in morning or evening there is very low probability. Instead go to this place for thinking it as nature walk as u will be surrounded by tall pine trees and there are resting spots inside the 3km dirt road. U will also see snake plant and many fallen wood logs making a good offroad path or temporary trampoline (must try). Pro tip- at the half way mark or the first gazebo turn left and u will see a narrow walking path - its a shortcut to end. This place can be visited by elderly people (only the car path) and they will enjoy the surrounding

Mainly it's dense #Cedar (Deodar) and #Fir jungle, when you go through it you will get the smell of Deodar wood #resins. One of my good experiences at #Lakkadmandi range under #Kalatop Wildlife Sanctuary. If you are lucky, sometime you can have a good sighting of wild animals on the way across the jungle. I had a rear experience of #leopard and #bear sighting in a single day while travelling at late night. Felt amazing to ream inside the jungle. Kindly do not pollute the place by throwing #plastics anywhere. Save the environment... save our Mother Nature.

Nice wilderness. Though we couldn't site any birds or animals. Roaming through the woods was an experience in itself.

What can I say...this place is breathtaking! Amazing views and the forest itself is well maintained and clean. You will be at cloud level and can see the clouds rolling in which is heavenly! Overall beautiful place and you will be able to see a few animals of you are lucky. Will surely visit again!

Kalatop Forest isBeautiful greenery and peaceful environment. An idle week end retreat with a panoramic view an enchanting place and a forest rest house.Kalatop is 8054 ft. from the sea level 16 km from Nus stand.

A nice and quiet place to go hiking. Starting from Lakkad Mandi, there is a 3km mud road surrounded by deodar trees, ending at Forest Rest House Kalatop. The main attraction of this place is the hiking experience. It may not be worth visiting if you plan to take a car till FRH Kalatop because there is not much to see on the way or at the destination. If you are the kind of traveller who expect to get a view or see something at the destination, this place may disappoint you. But if you are someone who travel for experiencing, then this place is for you. We had visited here in last week of December, 2022, and were lucky to experience our first ever snowfall (though a very slight one) from here. There is bus service from Khajjiar at around 10-10.30am till Lakkad Mandi, and from there you can hike 3km till FRH Kalatop and then return.

Too good nature trail. There is facility to take vehicle but I highly recommend to walk. It's one way 3km walk. During walk you can see very good views.
