As our honeymoon trip, we decided to visit Shimla, kulu and Manali. We booked our trip through www.makemytrip.com to reach Shimla.A popular tourist destination, Shimla is often referred to as the "Queen of Hills". In 1864, Shimla was declared the summer capital of the British Raj in India. The city is famous for its buildings styled in tudorbethan and neo-gothic architecture dating from the colonial era.
After a day stay in the cold Shimla, we headed towards Kulu valley. Kullu Valley is the largest valley in the Kullu district, in Himachal Pradesh, India. The Beas River runs through the middle of the valley. It is also called the "Valley of the Gods".
After spending a beautiful evening in kulu, we went to Manali. At first sight itself, every one would fall in love with this place. Manali (alt. 1,950 m or 6,398 ft), in the Beas River valley, is an important hill station in the mountains of Himachal Pradesh, India, near the northern end of the Kullu Valley. The British introduced apple trees and trout, which were not native to Manali flora and fauna. The climate in Manali is predominantly cold dur
ing winters, and moderately cool during summers. It was too cold in Manali when we visited and having horse ride in those cold wind is simply astounding.
We also visited the famous shiva temple in Manali riding on horses. Another attraction is Rohtang pass, unfortunately due to heavy snow fall the road to Rohtang pass was closed.
After a stay of 3 days in Manali, enjoying our honeymoon, we left to Delhi. It was such a memorable trip. A trip worth cherishing forever !!
