Shimla! We were there some time back and I remember the amazing weather \u2013 the wonderful weather right in the middle of May, where my part of the world would be sweltering in the abominable heat. Shimla was cold; so much so that I thought the AC in the room was on and asked my better half to switch it off! In fact, I think for the rest of my life, I would rue the fact that I could not make Shimla my working capital in the summer like the British did.<\/p>\n

Shimla is exactly like what you have read about or seen in our movies. A picturesque hill station town, with innumerable homes dotting the green slopes, the clouds descending on Earth to say a warm hello and the sheer beauty of nature that assaults your senses. Shimla, Kullu, Manali<\/a> is the golden trio that featured on our itinerary and we were very happy about this trip.<\/p>\n
