On Day 4 of our Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh tour we had a long road trip from Mussoorie to Shimla of nearly 8 hours. Day 5 - 27th April 2023: We started a bit early for a one day sight-seeing in and around Shimla. Our first destination was Kufri where my daughter wanted to enjoy few adventure activities. Shimla is the capital of Himachal Pradesh. It is one of the popular hill stations of India and was known as the Queen of Hill Stations. Shimla is situated at a height of 7,240 ft. The panoramic and spellbounding valley views are the main attractions of for the tourists. These valleys are rich in pine, oak and deodar trees.

On the way we stopped at the same Mukhiya Dhada in Dehradun where we had food and kulhad chai during our onward road trip from Rishikesh to Mussoorie . This dhaba is quite neat and has a beautiful view the Shivalik mountains from the window. Once again the same breakfast aloo parantha and kulhad chai. By this time I was almost fed up with this same aloo parantha with achar (mixed veg pickle) and poha. We c...

A holy visit to Dalai Lama temple in Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh is an interesting one. As we are from Visakhapatnam, a north coastal city in Andhra Pradesh famous for its natural beauty, we were thrilled and amazed on seeing the beautiful snowy peaks, the snow-capped mountains in Himachal Pradesh and enjoyed the cool weather in otherwise hot / peak summer. We visited beautiful and peaceful Tsuglagkhang Temple complex also known as Dalai Lama temple which is the most sacred place in McLeod Ganj - a town in Upper Dharamshala. The place is popularly known as Little Lhasa of Tibet as His Holiness (H.H) the Dalai Lama resides here. Dharamshala is located at the foothills of Dhauladhar.
