It is located about 2 km from Gandhi Chowk and is well-connected via all means of local transport. LcTravelers
Panchpula has two impressive waterfalls. To avoid the crowds, an early morning trek is advised. If you care to climb a wee bit, you can take a 2.5 km trek by the stream to Alha Reservoir on Bakrota Hill, and then walk back to town (2 km) by a pucca road. It is also a nice place to sit around and have a small picnic. A few stalls offer tea and snacks. LcTravelers
