Journey to Himachal Pradesh

Tour Plan:

Shoghi-Sarahan-Chitkul-Kalpa-Tabo via Nako-Kaza-Keylong-Udaipur-Trilokinath-Manali-Kullu-Mandi-Delhi

Let the journey begins...
Day 1 Shoghi

Shoghi is a beautiful Hill Station of Himachal Pradesh. During our journey, We wanted to avoid the hustle-bustle of urban life and this is why we have selected Shoghi as the best place to stay. Kalka to Simla narrow guage train starts every 30 mins upto 8.30AM (not strictly) and the route is really mesmerizing. The small train keeps on running across the jungles, bushes, roads, lawns etc. and some picturesque Hill Stations such Barog.


It took almost 4 hours to reach to Shoghi after crossing almost 120 tunnels amidst Pine Trees. And when we landed...just remained spellbound the beauty of Shoghi...it's so  serene, calm and fresh as we need not to go any other place but to stay there for a loooong time. 
Another station is definitely mesmerizing and noteworthy that is Barog. It's a fantastic place where the train stops for a while as if he authority wants us to see the beauty of Kalka-Simla Train route.



Barog provides guest house facilities to the tourists with a very nominal charges of approx Rs.300 to 400 per day. Next came Solan valley with its buildings and structures of typical Himalayan Style.

During our sojourn at Solan, I have experienced a very memorable incident. Some Management trainee guys on the Occassion of International Management Day were welcoming the boarders on the platform with Rose flowers with a huge sweet smile on their lips. If a journey starts with such note, definitely it shows that it is going to be special for the rest of my life. And thus came our destination SHOGHI and it's time o check in to our prebooked hotel, Lord's Garden.
