Sadhupul is a detour point on Kandaghat Chail road where it meets the sweet Ashwini River. You can step in the same river twice, thrice and as many times as you like, just the flow would be a new one each time. Shri Ramlok Mandir - Yet another beautiful place near Sadhupul. Shri Ramlok Mandir is a magnificent abode to various Gods and Goddesses. Sidh Baba Balaknath Temple - The temple is in Chail, devoted to ‘Balyogi Baba Balak Nath’, an incarnation of Lord Shiva.

To get there you have to take the link road from Kalka Shimla Highway at Salogra The way to the fall is a short trek through boxy boulders where the road ends. Water has caved into the rocks and formed a natural spooned pond beneath. It also holds a splendour of natural vegetation and birdsongs. Gurudwara Sahib Chail- Gurudwara Sahib Chail is in the heart of the town, established in 1907 by Maharaja Bhupindar Singh. It can be accessed through a tight road that can also be walked for only 2 minutes. It is a spiritual haven sitting atop Chail's main market.
