Khatnol, a picturesque village, lies near the
Shali Peak in
Shimla District of
Himachal Pradesh, from where the trek to Shali peak is started. As it is covered with forest and scrubs, this hilly area is ideal for those who want to experience the village life and also the trekking. Accommodations are available at the forest rest house which is the only place to stay, unless one is carrying tents along. Mashobra Village situated about 35 km from
Shimla is the main base to reach Khatnol.
