Day 1

Hi

Today, I will tell you about my visit to Shimla, how did I reach Shimla and what did I do there?

So let's start our journey.

I left the bus from Chandigarh bus stand towards Shimla at 10 am.

As the bus was heading towards Himachal, the weather kept getting worse.

I had reached Solan by crossing Dharampur at 12:30 o'clock in the afternoon and the weather of Solan was like this.

As the bus progressed from Solan, light rains started which turned into snowfalls on reaching Kandaghat and light snow started appearing.

The bus was moving in comfort that there was a fear of slippery snow

At around 1:30 pm the bus reached Shogi and it was difficult to drive the bus due to snowfall as it was very slippery while driving, the journey of the bus was end here and shimla was still 12 km away.

Day 3

Hey Good morning from shimla

It is now 10 in the morning. And I am going to to the ridge ground today. people were getting enough attention on the ridge. Due to snowfall, many people also came to visit. Some locals used to leave for their work.

The Municipal Corporation had cleared the snowfall that had taken place two days earlier.People were roaming on the ridge and many people were also enjoying horse riding.

Jakhu Temple is 2.5 km from the ridge ground where you can go by foot and by car.I walked on foot to the Jakhu temple and on the way, a lot of people were meeting who were going to the temple itself.

There was a lot of snow on the way, so it was difficult to walk. The Municipal Corporation had cleared the snow from the ridge ground but not the Jakhu temple. So this was also a different experience.

The path was surrounded by cedar trees on both sides. And on the way white snow was experiencing exciting journey.

Around two o'clock I reached Jakhu temple.When reached the temple, I was very tired. But as soon as the temple reached, all the tiredness went away. It seemed as if I have come at the top and Hanuman ji above me.

Jakhu Temple is an old Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Hanuman.

Jakhu Temple is located at 8000 feet above sea level and is also the highest peak of Shimla.

A 108-foot statue of Hanuman ji is installed in the Jakhu temple, which is visible from afar as you reach Shimla city.

On reaching Jakhu temple, all the tiredness was removed after seeing the scene here. It was nice to see snow sheet around here and Hanuman ji statue in between.
