Bandla Hills
Well, the biggest catch to be there is the amazing paragliding experience this place has to offer. It provides you scenic views instead of just trees and hills. And also the Landing ground Luhnu, hardly any place in the country where there is a lake in background. Best part it can offer you an eight hours of flight as well, nowhere in the region you will find that.
Bhakra Nangal Dam
A place indeed worth your time, money & energy. The only sad part is you will not be able to capture the amazement of the place because of security reasons. It is indeed an engineering marvel which you will remember all your life. It will also give you a sense of pride that something so amazing is a part of your country and managed so well.
Kandraur Bridge
Located at 8 kilometres from Bilaspur on National Highway No-88, across the river Satluj. It was was once the highest bridge in Asia and at a height of 80 meters, is still one of the highest in the world.
Vyas Cave
Another attraction is the Vyas Cave, where it is believed that sage vyas meditated. The name of the city is also derived from the cave itself. It is one wonderful place you would always want to visit again.
Bachhretu Fort
The Fort is a very nice and peaceful place located on western slope of Kotdhar. The Fort was constructed by the ruler Raja Ratan Chand of Bilaspur. It is situated at an elevation of 3000 ft above sea level and is rectangular in shape.
