Its an old one but I would try to remember as much as I could. It was Oct 2, 2004 and was a national holiday. Good news was that it was falling on a saturday (see how much +ive person I am) so me and Smita decided to head north. One of our old friends (now married, pun intended) Vijayant Kohli (you might have seen him on TV playing Chhupa Rustam on Star Plus) was the man behind the mission.
Smita was in her first trimster and we wanted to do an easy one, which means better roads and a comfy place. After some non-eventful discussion, we decided to check out ‘The Parkwoods – Shoghi’, a small hill side resort with not too many tents, some small adventure games and hopefully a wonderful weather and serene silent views.
After some googling, we figured out that some ‘caravan tours’ are sort of their only booking agents. After speaking over phone to Miss Ranjana (not so pleasant) and their insistence of getting some advance amount, we were not too happy but then our travel have so far taught us to not worry too much on these things. So we sent Vijayant to do the booking at their Kalaki ji office and negotiate tariff and he came as a winner warrior nicely settling for 1K odd a day per person with complementary breakfast and lunch. So finally it was myself, Smita, Vijayant and Henry (a recent friend who had time and shared interest in travel and traveled with us to many destination during 2003-2005)
Delhi -> Hop on to NH1 -> Sonipat -> Panipat -> Kurukshetra -> Ambala.
From Ambala, take the left exit towards Chandigarh. Now you on NH21 which is
not as smooth and as quick as NH1 but pretty good. Its a single road so be careful. After about a drive of 1 hour, you read Zirakpur, take right exit towards Shimla.
Zirapur -> kalka -> Parwaano -> Dharampur
Beyond Dhrampur, keep an eye for a board which says ‘Shoghi – 2 KMs’. This is about 18 KM before Shimla and for Shimla you would see lots of milestones so back calculate. Once you reach Shoghi, take a left exit and drive for another 2 KMs and you should see some signage for the Park Wood Resort.
There was some local conference kinds going so it was definitely not quiet but once that was over, it was simply serene. The 
A very interesting thing about their tents is that its half on ground and half hanging in air, supported by bamboos and being held by ropes n all. Its done to get more space in front of the tent, if you look carefully in the loo, you can actually feel air coming from under, but not at all scary though a little adventurous for first few hours.
There is a dining area and they have a TV and a DVD player, some board games like scabble, pictionary etc to kill time. In dininig area, there is a machan kind of thing (not rock stable but ok) where 4-6 peole can sit-n-eat.
What to do
There is a small course of Croquet as well, Its a stupid game where you hammer a cork ball to pass through small minature goal-posts, time kill and more time kill.
Shimla is pretty close by and so are the towns of Chail and Kasauli.
and if nothing then just sip a beer and enjoy your time. 
We had a very short trip, just two days including travel so we were back on Oct 3rd, Sunday. As I write so many times, a weekend well spent.
