We have visited shimla in the month of December which was bit off season.we took HRTC bus from delhi to reach shimla.At day 1,we have travelled from shimla to Narkanda.It is almost 60 km from shimla.
After checking in hotel in Narkanda,we left to roam around.We have already booked the cab from Mumbai to roam around Shimla.We have gone to visit hatu peak and Hatu temple.It was awesome experience to visit haku temple in narkanda.It was 2 km trek from the base but it was worth visiting.The view is fantastic from the top.
Total cost -
Lunch for 2 - Rs. 400(New Himalayan inn )
Breakfast for 2 - Rs.100
Dinner for 2 - Rs.700
We have left for Sarhan which is 104 km from Narkanda.Sarhan is beautiful place.The road from Narkanda to Sarhan was beautiful which covers Satluj river by the road side.The view of satluj is fantastic.
We reached Sarhan and visited beautiful temple of Maa Bhimkali.This temple surrounds with memorizing views.Its worth to visit it.On returning from Sarhan,we visited the Padam Palace at Rampur.You can click nice pictures here outside the Palace as the entry is restricted to go inside the palace.
We left Narkanda with beautiful memories and headed to Shimla.We had Himalayan breakfast i.e.Aloo paratha at Shali view dhaba.On returning journey we have decided to visit chail Palace and Kutri.
Chail Palace is almost 45 kms from Shimla.I do not feel worth visiting the place as p tiring journey and t here is no such great thing to visit there.You can just roam there and click nice Pictures.So we did the same and while returning visited Kufri.
Kufri is best when there is snowfall otherwise there is nothing to visit there other than horse riding.
After tiring day,we finally reached Shimla and rested for the rest of the day.
Hotel stay :
Honeymoon inn
We have started our journey to Naldehra which is just 18 kms from Shimla.There is horse riding from the mountain road amongst deodar trees which is good experience.They charge Rs.500 for single person for horse riding.Then by our good luck , snowfall started.We have visited Kutri for snowfall as it's at highest altitde.Belive me it's worth visiting.Its truly amazing experience to visit snowfall and enjoying it.It was magical winter wonderland with snow captured mountains.Here are the glimpse for the same
The last day we kept for rest and shopping.Our hotel was nearby mall road so we have visited the mall road and roam around the mall road.
