On September 1st, Krishnan and I visited the National Museum. Where else will history buffs start ? :). The National Museum is spread over three floors and it will take you nearly three days to truly see every artefact on display. The ground floor has artefacts from the […]
The rain God blessed us today too as we started from home. We planned on leaving at 5 but got a little delayed and left at 5.37 am. We got onto the Yamuna Expressway within 40 minutes or so. A special thanks to Irish whose directions to bye-pass […]
Dates in Shimla – May 9 to 13 Hotel – HPTDC’s flagship property Hotel Peterhof. This is a HUGE hotel and very historic. Nathuram Godse was tried and sentenced at this location because it was the high court then. Several viceroys have stayed here, it was the Governor’s […]
We left Kalpa on the 9th of May and drove to Shimla …. We were certainly sad. Kalpa just captivated us with its beauty. The route we took was, Kalpa-Tapri-Rampur-Sainj-Narkanda-Shilaroo-Fagu-Kufri-Shimla. Shimla was the last stop in our Himachal travels and we got a bonus of reliving old memories […]
Note – The Kinner Kailash mountains and the Apple trees in full bloom will take your breath away … So take a few deep breaths before seeing these pictures. This is probably one of the most beautiful places that Krishnan and I have visited anywhere in the world. […]
Dates we were in Kullu – May 1 to May 5. Hotel – HPTDC property Hotel Sarvari. The location is great. Huge “mela” ground or playground right in front of the hotel. Rooms – Again, this hotel has large airy rooms. We stayed in the Sarvari Suite and […]
Joginder Nagar is not touristy … It’s just a stopover location as one goes from Kullu or Mandi to Dharmshala or vice versa. We used it exactly for that purpose and stayed overnight on April 30th, on our way from Dalhousie to Kullu. But, the hotel surprised us […]
Khajjiar took our breath away … It’s not called the mini Switzerland for nothing. It’s stunning and deserves a separate post :). The honest truth is I just didn’t feel like leaving from there. It’s a tiny lake in the middle of lush green meadows ringed with Deodar […]
Warning – Those living in Delhi, Chennai and other places that have sweltering heat please don’t go further :):):). These pictures will really make you feel hotter. Dates we stayed in Dalhousie – April 27 to 30. Hotel – Hotel Grand View Rooms – We stayed in the […]
Finally we got to stay a few days at home …. Not a hotel. On April 23rd we left Mandi to go to Shahpur near Dharmshala where Shama aunty’s house is. It’s really Shama aunty’s house and she deserves an award for getting it built singlehandedly … My […]
