Standard Shimla Stint.. Day3 & 4..

Day3 : Naldehra..Tattapani and the Mall road..

Again we get up to a very clear sky.. No sign of rain and yes it did not rain overnight yesterday as it did the day before..
Naldehra to Mashobra is just about 12kms.. but still took us a good half an hour to reach there... 
by the looks of it, we were the first tourists on the spot..
We wanted to cramp in the Jakhu temple too, today.. it was only 9.30, but given how much time we spent yesterday and not knowing how much time it would take to see Naldehra, we decided to take the Rs.250 horse ride again.. 

The beautiful HPTDC cottages at Naldehra.. Wish I had stayed at one of them..

Standard Shimla Stint.. Day2.. Part2..



Ohh did I not tell you we spent more than 2 hours at Kufri.. And if you are wondering what we did.. here it is..

After we came back to the parking lot, our driver, mr.kewalji told us that there is a very good Zoo in Kufri, it is one of the must visit places around 
being the Touristy tourists we were, we nodded, and climbed up the slope to what looked like an entrance to the zoo..
Entry fee was 20 per adult and another 20 for the camera..
Interesting board read "There are 59animals and 54 bird species in there, do not trust people who say there is nothing to see inside".. We should have taken this as a warning, but anyway decided to go inside..

Standard Shimla Stint.. Day2.. Part1..

Day 2 : To Kufri and the Institute of Advance Studies..

The day started with the weather all clear.. no sign of rain after the overnight thunderstorm.. Also signs of Hails in the night could be seen.. but that meant there could have been snowfall up on the higher mountains..

I walked out at 6.45am for a stroll around the hotel ..

Andaman Travel Guide...

Hotel :
I booked a total tour package 9 days at seashell .. both PB and Havelock..
The hotel in PB is at a good location provided you are taking the Deluxe Sea View rooms.. I suppose those are the only rooms from where you can get the awesome view of the ocean..
The staff over there is courteous but but but they are very very slow.. If you order something to the room, they might "forget" or even take an hour to send it up..

Check if you are going in the offseason.. if thats the case then you can always ask for discounts..
I was not offered a single penny discount as I was there during the peak season 25th dec to 1st jan..
The only complimentary stuff that they offer to a couple is a "candle light dinner" at havelock..

Are you going to Havelock also?
