As a traveller, I usually prefer places which is mesmerising in nature and is full of scenic beauty. Mostly hill stations, and beaches are where I always feel close to the simplicity of nature. Also, our family members were visiting us in Delhi which is why we opted Shimla as our destination to go on a family trip. Hence, I and my wife, who reside in Delhi and belong to Kerala, decided to go on a weekend trip to Shimla with family.
