When the ’Gurkha Wars’ came to an end in 1815-16, Subathu
grew steadily in importance. This was where the newly appointed
British Political Agent to the Hill States was initially based and
this was a major stopover on the old road to Shimla; the ’old road’
rose from Kalka straight up to Kasauli, went past the Lawrence
School at Sanawar and dropped down to Subathu via Dharampur,
this then went past the villages of Sairi and Kakkarhatti to reach
Shimla. Subathu, right from the early years, was a major
recruitment center for Gurkhas in the British Indian army. When
Shimla became the summer capital, Governors’ Generals /
Viceroys of India rode up on horse-back and Subathu was the
natural midway staging post. This is now the Regimental Center
of the Indian army for Gurkhas. At an altitude of 1265 mtr.
Arki was the capital of the princely hill state of Baghal, which was

lovely to visit.The Arki Fort was built between 1800 and 1805 by
Rana Prithvi Singh, a descendent of Sabha Chand. The fort was
captured by the Gurkhas in 1806.Arki is 50 kms from Solan and
