Amidst the mighty Himalayan ranges, away from the crowd and hustle bustle of famous destinations lies a quiet little village called Barog. It falls under the Solan district of Himachal Pradesh a bit off track from the Kalka-Shimla Railway track. This village is named after an engineer called Barog who was to construct a tunnel alongside the railway track. But due to some miscalculations, certain things went wrong with the construction. Humiliated and disgraced, the engineer committed suicide. It was the construction of this railway track that led to the establishment of the village nearby. The tunnel is known to be one of the straightest tunnels in the world. Barog is now emerging as a popular tourist destination due its picturesque setting among the beautiful snow capped peaks.
