Nestled in the Doon Valley on the banks of the Tons River is Shaheen Bagh, the country home of a wild life photographer with his family. This private estate in the hills is now open to select visitors who desire a getaway in the midst of nature.
The house, with an adjoining cottage, is located on a 7-acre estate verdant with fruit orchards, many species of exotic and rare plants and trees. The landscaped gardens, spread across five levels, are a visual delight with their watercourses, lily pools and picturesque pathways.
