Everything was SET!!! … A Month Long Planning,and everyone was effin Excited for some SNOW this Time … Couple Of Days before the pre planned date for an excursion to Delhi-Shimla-Manali,The Two Assholes(Ashu n Omi) Started doing Nakhras As Usual and Screwed the whole thing Royally… Nothing Started According to the Plan and Nothing Ended as per the Plan :P .. But,As They Say “ Unplanned Things Creates Beutiful Memories ” .. This was True this Time.
Day 1 : Journey Begins
A 20 Hour Journey From Mumbai to Delhi On Paper seemed to be Boring,but the Truth is it wasnt … A Tight Sleep , some Card Games , Loads of Chit chats and there we Reach Delhi.
Day 2 : More Travelling (Delhi -Kalka-Shimla)
We Reached Hazrat Nizamuddin Station around 6 in the evening .. The Next Journey was from Old Delhi to Kalka ... Another Overnight Chilly Journey … We Reached Kalka around 5 in the Morning(The Real Fun Begins here onwards)
Day 3 : Kalka to Shimla ( A Toy Train Experience )
The great journey through tunnels of darkness with a small light at the other end always beckoning you.....The narrow-standard Kalka Shimla Railway, which runs around 60 miles means 96 km and has approx 100 tunnels and 95 Bridges … Absolutely Scenic and Beutiful Toy Train Journey.
#A-Must-Experience-Train-Route
After Around 4 hours u reached the promised destination -SHIMLA!!! … As soon as u enter shimla,our eyes get stuck to the Beutiful Mountains Covered with snow And soon we try to adjust ourselves with the lowering Temperature …
The later Half of the Day is spent on MALL ROAD … Yes,Mall Road … As the Name Suggests,its the Road which give us the essence of Malls in the cities … You will find each and every Indian & Imported Brand here on this road with a Heavy Discounts throughtout the Year … The Shoppers paradise :)
While you are busy in Window Shopping,u will soon realise the Temperature is dropping further quickly and in no time it becomes untolerable and you rush towards your hotel n try to cover yourself with whatever you got with you.
PS : - I was continously Shivering and almost needed an hour to adjust with 1 or 2 degree temp.
Day 4 : The Actual Snowy Day (Kufri-Fagu-Green Valley-Chini Bunglow-Apple Garden-Naldehra)
KUFRI :
Kufri is located arnd 15 KM frm Simla and is the Highest Point around Shimla. If visiting Shimla one should not avoid this place specially when there is no snow in Shimla you can find it in Kufri.
Road to Kufri.
Horse Ride to Fagu in Kufri.
GREEN VALLEY :
Green Valley is on d way 2 Kufri frm Shimla. Its a beautiful scenic view of deep valley just ahead of Chail but not too far from Kufri. Have you car halt to breath and see the beauty of deodhar trees with Fresh Air coming from green valley.
Tourist Car n vehicles r seen stopping at green valley for view and food.
You will find lots of monkeys on the road. Enjoy Tasty Chaat and Noodles on Green Valley.
PS :- Try Go Karting @Kufri ... It is really Awesome n Thrilling

"The Day 4 was probably one of the finest day in my LIFE .... Surrounding was fully covered with SNOW ... We even witnessed the Snow Fall for the First Time. #Incredible-Feeling
At the End Of the Day,we were NUMB!!!" #We-Survived-Zero-Degrees
Day 5 : A Sudden Change In Plan
The Original Plan on Day 5 was to Move to Manali via Kullu ... But,The Temperature was dropping further and it was bit difficult to survive further with the fall in Temperature ... So,we decided to move back to Delhi ... And thus,Day 5 Starts in Delhi.
It was a MATCH DAY!!! ... So basically,every other thing was on Halt for the time being as Manchester United was suppose to Play @Stamford Bridge ... And noy a boy,what a Comeback it was :) ... Day 5 Ended on a very High Note and then we decided to visit The Taj Mahal on Next Day,which was originally not in our Plan.
Day 6 : The Taj Mahal ( Symbol of Eternal LOVE )
As Taj Mahal wasnt on our wish List,our Day 6 Started Horribly ... We were Suppose to catch a Train with General Ticket and thus No Need to Explain Further ... The Following Pic will describe our condition the best :P
As soon as we got a Glimpse of The Taj,every thing was forgotten n we were eye struck for few moments ... Aaahhh!!! ... what a beauty it was ... A Breath Taking Moment!!!
Moving Back to Delhi,This time we decided to Travel By Road & This was probably the only worst decision till now throughout the journey.The Bus took effin 7 and half hours to reach delhi for the journey of 3 Hours n we were Frustrated like Hell :( ... Finally,we reached Delhi and had a tight sleep.
Day 7 : Delhi-Local Sightseeing
Well,we were having Plenty Of Options for Local Sightseeing like Volvo Buses,Private Cars,Public Transport etc etc ... But,to make it more Interesting,we Hired an Auto Rickshaw.And to be Honest,It was the Real Fun. We Visited RajGhat,RedFort,Qutub Minar,Lotus Temple,Rashtrapati Bhavan,India Gate by Rickshaw. I Must Say,Delhi is one hell of a Big City and Maintained Beutifully.
Few Clicks in Delhi :
