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

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 and the views were worth staying a … Read more

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 trees. We were there on April 28th … Read more
