Shangarh is a part of Sainj Valley, a small village located deep within its forests. It is best known for its grass meadows and natural beauty. It will actually remind you of Khajjiar near Dalhousie but a much larger version of it. Sainj may be the largest town in the valley but I believe it is Shangarh that is the primary tourist attraction. The majority of the tourists will head straight to Shangarh from Sainj either by trekking or by road.
For reaching Shangarh, follow up the way till Sainj and from there the actual distanc of Shangarh is 16km.
You will start driving on Sainj – Neuli Road, climbing up and handling steep ascents at some places. Pine trees will get replaced with dense and rich Deodar forest. If you were coming straight from Aut, you can actually avoid the Sainj town and take the bypass instead.
If you are travelling from Delhi so you can get the buses from Kashmiri Gate Delhi for Aut(HP).
From the Aut bus stand you can find a bus for Sainj, Neuli or Shangarh.
There are several buses throughout the day from Aut to Sainj and other places in Tirthan Valley like Banjar, Jibhi, and Shoja. These will be a mix of state-run as well as smaller private buses. Ask around and when the next available bus for Sainj is and hop on it.
Now coming to stay so you can find a lot of Homestays over there which are economical as well as safe for you.

2 years agoHi,
The hike to Annapurna is more simpler than the climb to Everest Base Camp. The Annapurna Base Camp walk is more clean and well-maintained, with more staircases as paths. The Annapurna Base Camp path is less crowded. Pokhara is significantly nicer than Kathmandu's dirty streets.
