Originally built as a Dak Bungalow and staging post where horses were changed for the final stretch to Shimla, Hotel Meghdoot is now operated by HPTDC as a hotel known for its comfortable stays. This hotel comes with the most beautiful scenic views along the NH‑22 near Kiarighat. Although the rooms here are simple and comfortable, they have large windows or balconies that open up to views of the hills. Since it is about 20–25 minutes from Shimla, you can even visit major tourist spots. In addition, Hotel Meghdoot Kiarighat features a banquet hall for special events, conference rooms, an on-site restaurant, a 24-hour front desk, and more.
