Visit to Himachal Pradesh

 Last year on my visit to Shimla in December, was great fun! So the trip started like this myself and my mom I decided to go somewhere but the place was unplanned. So my father thought of going to Shimla, Manali, Amritsar, New Delhi, and Noida. So, as usual, my father started asking people who have been there before, some people said it will be covered with ice and a few cars will be available for tourists. So thinking this my parents planned to go to Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh, but as there were very few tourist attractions I wasn't happy with their decisions so my parents decided proceed with their previous plan, I was happy like anything😀

So it was finally the day we had to catch Sealdah Rajdhani we hurried up to the station, the train was waiting for us we got up in the train our coach was AC 2 TIER so we got up and received our meals in their respective time. Next day at 10:30 am we reached New Delhi Station, NDLS after reaching there we had to wait for 6 long hours before we could board New Delhi to Kalka Satabdi Express, then there also we got our evening snacks and dinner.

Then we reached Kalka. We spent 1 night in the Officers Rest House as my father is a Central Government Officer, anyways the next day began it was around 2 degrees in Kalka, Haryana. We boarded Shiwalik Express First Class, We were offered a coupe in the train rather a toy train. However after 5 hrs we reached Shimla Station we deboarded the train  and we proceeded to our hotel 300m high from the station. The climbing was like forever, However we reached to The Grand Hotel,Shimla (CPWD) after reaching there we had some parantha as our breakfast and we slept for around 2-3 hours. The temperature at that time was 0 degree during the day and -3 during the midnight and dawn.

We explored shimla went to various places and took an account of that place which I will share some day surely but not today then the blog will be like around 10,000 words .

anyways, after staying in shimla for 3 days we proceeded to Manali, we had a group of around 9 members so we boarded a traveller and reached manali by Evening. We stayed in a hotel all 3 rooms in the same floor and we went exploring different places in Manali Too.

Then it was the time we reached Amritsar  we stayed there 1 night and visited the famous attractions there almost all.

The next day we had our train to delhi from delhi to Howrah.
