Barot is alos mainly know for its Trout anglish sports and Trout fish farming. The town of Barot is located at a distance of around 486 km from New Delhi and 66 km from the town of Mandi the district capital. The best way to reach Barot is to take an overnight bus from New Delhi to Mandi which takes around 12 hours and then hop onto a local bus from Mandi to Barot which takes around 4 hours since the roads are narrow and have plenty of uphill climbs.
Barot has a range of outdoor activities, including a trout breeding centre from where fish are released into the Uhl River. A 30 km section of the river is used for angling. The town also forms the gateway to the Nargu Wildlife Sanctuary which lies across the Uhl River. The sanctuary is home to the Himalayan monal, black bear and ghoral. Within it are forest rest houses at Thaltuckhod and Silbandhwari. Through woods of cedar and pine a trek route cuts across the sanctuary to Kullu. It is important to note that the sanctuary in Barot does not have any safaris and one would need a local guide to explore the forest on foot.
The best time to visit Barot is during the summer months from March to May and from mid-August to September. Light woollens are recommended even during the summers. Barot is a really nice place to chill and unwind for a couple of days there are plenty of short hikes which after climbing to the top will leave you breathless. The town of Barot is a place more for the backpackers and less for tourists.
