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.

Our search for suitable travel packages on Google led us to the website of TravelTriangle. We thought we’ll give it a shot, and raised a query for a weekend trip to Shimla with family.

Later in the zoo, we had a good time while we went birdwatching. We spotted many birds of different species and since it was a sunny day, the temperature was a bit high. We soon returned to the hotel in the evening wherein we spent some quality time with family and the location of the hotel was pretty awesome amidst the mountains.
