We left Kalpa on the 9th of May and drove to Shimla …. We were certainly sad. Kalpa just captivated us with its beauty.

Shimla was the last stop in our Himachal travels and we got a bonus of reliving old memories from 1998… In April of 1998, we … Read more Postcards enroute to Shimla ….

But, the hotel surprised us and the views were worth staying a … Read more Postcards from Joginder Nagar
