The hotel is near to Kalar kahar lake, which gives a captivating view. The fresh and soothing breeze of this Valley fills your soul with pleasure and joy.

There is a playland for the entertainment children in Kahar Kalar valley known as Alibaba Joyland park where children can enjoy this trip at its fullest.

People are warm welcome there, and they love to tell about the goodness of this Valley and sing songs melodically for tourists.

Another exciting thing about Kalar Kahar is the fascinating peacocks roaming here and there while spreading their colourful feathers beautifully. Indeed it is an alluring view to soothe our eyes.

Kalar kahar is also famous for its delicious fruit-bearing trees of bananas, mangoes, apricots, grapes, loquats and pomegranates. It has beautiful green gardens. The most significant thing is Bagh-i-Safa there, which means the Clean Garden, founded by the great Mughal Emperor Zaheeruddin Babur out of his love for nature.

The history of this place is quite impressive, especially for the archaeologists and history students. Takht-e-Baber holds a great value in the history of this place. In 1525, when the 1st Mughal Emperor Zaheeruddin Babur visited kahar Kalar, he loved this place. Hence he ordered his army to build a throne known as “Takht-e-Babri” to discuss his army issues.
