Shimla, capital of Himachal Pradesh is a place everybody wants to visit, it is for this very reason it is called as the queen of Hill stations. We took the bus from Chandigarh to Shimla and our ride was the Himachal Pradesh Road Transport corporation bus. Well it was this average bus, the bus made me think if it will ever make it to Shimla in one piece and like my instincts, the bus did make it to the destination, with a break down and some pushing. Well boy was Shimla worth this treacherous travel hell yeah it was, we saw the snow clad mountains for the first time. We hired a local taxi for sightseeing and the drive to Kufri was dream, sulking in the feeling of seeing the pine trees, snow on either side of road, sipping the hot tea at the roadside joints, the feeling of harsh cold winds making your face numb was just the ideal start for our journey.

Shimla to Kulu-Manali is a 300km drive and we thought we will give the bus a miss and hire a cab for this stretch of drive. Well it was a costly option but luxury is sometimes a necessity especially when the stretch is treacherous at is best. Beas River flowing with its might up from the mountains is music to your ears, the mountains look like Christmas, with the snow kissed pine trees, while Kulu valley gets more charismatic with every mile we travel upwards. We finally reached the base of Rohtang pass, so much of snow around, snow started reaching its normalcy and our warm clothes were not warm enough, The place is abuzz with make shift restaurants which sell majorly Maggi noodles,lot of adventure sports and yeah try them certainly at your own risk.
