Journey to Simla

16 Jul

When you are going to Simla from Kalka in your own vehicle…..then I recommend you stop for recharging yourself…..

at Kiarighat…. An hour short of Simla…

…there is a ‘beautifully delapidated’ Himachal Tourism facility….rooms/restaurant/lawns/fast food ….

…We always break journey here….both ways !

…At least one way….preferably while going…is strongly recommended !

The place is typically ‘government-facility’ type with lazy service and half-smiles….but the place is a good watering hole !

And after Kiarighat….the road goes thru a ‘cool patch’…where you may find a bit of fog…..and then you reach Shogi….and then….

….after any turn now, the whole length and breadth of The majestic hill resort  that is Simla…would appear !

Happy  journey !!!

SIMLA SIMPLY SUPERB !!!

 SIMLA……

The oldest hill stations of India….. was the summer capital during British Raj…

You can come here and find …still…the old world charm…and some majestic buildings !

Best is the OLD VICE REGAL LODGE……….a must see….a 45 minute walk from the Ridge….

Walk takes you through a spectacular scenery….and the road winds through thick DEODAR trees…

On the way you can see a lot of ‘British buildings’….  

…and the evening on the Ridge…..sipping hot tomato soup/coffee and munching pop corns would make your day !!!

Toy train ride is great….but only once !….it is too slow !

…and wherever you are in Simla…..you can see the Church….(almost from everywhere). I love this building ! Specially when it is lit !

 Write your experiences….waiting…..
