It was already dusk and we headed for Mall Road and visited Naina Devi Temple. We were hungry again! We went on to have some really good Biryani. We roamed around mall road and this Mall road market has Lots of shops and much variety of shopping, eating joints, ice cream parlors street foods, hawkers selling anything and everything. It is a heaven for skilled bargainers with really good stuff being sold. Since vehicle entry in restricted every evening. We grabbed my favorite cup of hot chocolate and decided to walk to our hotel, which was approx. 800ms up from mall road.
