Location and History

Set in the mountains Barog named after the Colonel Barog is just 60 km from Chandigarh on the Kalka-Shimla highway. In 1898, Colonel Barog who was a railway engineer was given the task of constructing a tunnel in this region and get the job done in a stipulated time. He did several calculations and ordered laborers to start boring holes in the mountain from both the ends so that they could meet in the middle and finish the job in time. Unfortunately, he had miscalculated and even after boring holes and digging till the center of the mountain, the laborers from different ends did not meet in the middle. Due to the colonel’s folly, he was fired from the job and also fined by the government. The workers too were furious with him for his mistake. This really depressed him and he felt absolutely humiliated.

It is said that one night on a walk with his pet dog, Colonel Barog shot himself out of his misery. While the dog tried to get people’s attention seeing his master bleed, by the time the dog could get any help, his master had passed away. Incidentally There is a part of the Undeveloped tunnel in Barog Valley but has been Closed off to all the General Public.
