Bhanoo Village

Bhanoo is a small village located 11 km from the center of Panchkula, Haryana. It is famous for the ruins of the Chandel Rajputs and trekking in Morni Hills teemed with Khol Hi-Raitan Wildlife Sanctuary, Bir Shikargah Wildlife Sanctuary and views of Shivalik foothills. Just 4-5 hrs of drive from Delhi, it serves as a perfect stopover for people going to Manali.

The property was constructed in 1945 by Kawar Mohan Singh Chandel and is a replica of the Ramgarh House in Lahore. It was inherited by Deiji Sukshma Singh Chandel, mother of NB Singh, the present owner.
