Travel Tips Of Sarol

Chamba, Himachal Pradesh, India:
Research, Agriculture, and Tranquility:The Sheep Breeding Centre at Sarol is an important agricultural research and development station located about 11 KMS from Chamba town, situated on the picturesque right bank of the Ravi River. Established during the Second Five-Year Plan (around 1959-60), its primary objective is to evolve a superior breed of sheep for the high-altitude Himachal region, aiming for a higher yield of better quality wool. The center conducts experiments by cross-breeding indigenous breeds like the Gaddi sheep with foreign varieties such as Rambouillet and Spanish Merino rams. Beyond sheep, the Sarol complex is a multi-disciplinary agricultural station, also featuring a sprawling Horticulture Farm (citrus plants, etc.), an Apiary (bee-keeping farm known for its delicious honey), a Poultry Farm, and a Canning Unit. This blend of activities makes Sarol an intriguing destination for those interested in livestock breeding, high-altitude agriculture, and rural development. The site is a popular picnic spot, boasting lovely landscaped gardens and open spaces that provide a tranquil atmosphere away from the city. The center highlights the efforts to improve the economic condition of the local tribal and pastoral communities, such as the Gaddi shepherds, who rely heavily on sheep rearing.
