Cheog Village
Cheog Village Details: Cheog Village is a hidden gem located just a short distance from the main tourist trail of Fagu. It is a quiet, traditional village that has retained its authentic charm despite the growing popularity of the region. The village is surrounded by dense forests of cedar and pine, providing a serene environment for travelers. Life in Cheog moves at a slow pace, with locals busy in their fields or tending to their livestock. The village is famous for its hospitality, and many families have opened their homes as homestays. Walking through the narrow lanes of Cheog, one can see the beautiful traditional houses and the simple lifestyle of the mountain people. It is the perfect place for those who want to escape the crowds and experience true Himachali life.
