Mrs Bhandari s Guest House GUESTHOUSE $$ (%2228509; http://bhandari_guesthouse.tripod.com; 10 Cantonment; camping 200, s/d from 1500/1800; ais) Legacy of the much- loved Mrs Bhandari (1906 2007), this earthy, ecoconscious guesthouse is set on
Haryana s only hill station gazes across the hazy plains to the Shivalik and Kasauli Hills in nearby Himachal Pradesh. Morni s leafy heights are a great escape from the rat race, but weekends can get busy.
You must enter the High Court via the car park. On the way is the small High Court Museum (admission free; h10am-5pm Mon-Sat) containing assorted memorabilia including original Le Corbusier sketches and the handcuffs worn by Nathuram Godse, Mahatma Gandhi s assassin (see boxed text, p 1096 ). Most exhibits are on the 1st fl oor. On request, there s a free guided tour.
oAura Vaseela HOTEL $$ (%01762-287575; www.auravaseela.com; Nadiali Village; s/d from 2899/3199, cottages from 3599/3899; ais) Run by a dynamic duo, Gags and Jeeva, this stress-banishing ethnic countryside resort may be tricky to find (pick-ups possible with advance notice) given its secluded location (around 4.5km from the centre), but the effort is well rewarded. Tastefully appointed accommodation is in traditional-style (modern) cottages or rooms in the classy main complex, and tariffs include bed, tea and breakfast. Amenities and activities include a paintball field, gym, craft gallery, museum, restaurant and bar.
