Morni: Pine Forests, Lakes and Trekking

Morni is a village and a tourist attraction in the Morni Hills in the Panchkula district of the Indian state of Haryana. Nature shapes the stay: pine forests grow at higher elevations in protected forest areas, and lakes, trekking destinations and other activities are among the attractions that make Morni distinctive. If you are looking for more than one kind of outing on your trip, the area offers options for active pursuits as well as time in nature.

Pine Forests and Wildlife

The Haryana Forest Department has designated the Morni Hills as an ecotourism area. Pine trees grow at higher elevations in the protected forests; this elevation is one of the landscape features of the Morni Hills. Birds in Morni include quail, sandgrouse and pigeons. Wildlife also includes jackals, hyenas, sambar deer and jungle cats. The birds and animals add another aspect of nature to the forests. When planning your trip, you can consider whether forest scenery, wildlife or an active outing should take centre stage.

Trekking, Lakes and Other Activities

Morni offers opportunities for trekking, rock climbing and other adventure sports. Trekking destinations include the two lakes, the old fort and the banks of the Ghaggar River. The Ghaggar flows past Morni. Water, an old fort and riverbanks therefore offer a choice of different types of destinations. The lakes also provide opportunities for camping and relaxing in nature.

There are several interests to consider when planning your day. The lakes combine two of them: they are trekking destinations and also offer opportunities for camping and relaxing in nature. If you are mainly looking for active pursuits, you can also consider rock climbing and other adventure sports. This lets you plan your stay around whether exercise, a destination or relaxing in nature is important to you.

If several kinds of outing matter to you, keep them in mind together; this will help you assess your base for the trip in light of your planned stay rather than just a single destination.
