At 2,444 metres, the Chail Cricket Ground is the highest cricket ground in the world and one of the top attractions in Chail, laid out in 1893 by the Maharaja of Patiala. Set on a flattened hilltop, it now doubles as a polo field and parade ground for Chail Military School, and is a highlight of Chail sightseeing and things to do in Chail.
