.....And we are back from our summer break..!! We wanted to spend the last few days of our summer break peacefully among the hills.... but Shimla, Mussoorie and Nainital have become too commercial and crowded..... I would much rather be at the peace at home....After much thought and research we finally decided to spend a week at Dalhousie, Himachal Pradesh.
Being the highest hill station in himachal pradesh, it is so raw in its beauty. This calm little town has preserved its culture so beautifully that you would feel you have traveled back in time.
Among the many tourists destinations, Khajjiar and Dainkund peak were our most favorite one. My husband kept asking me to take pictures of the beautiful deodars and clouds..... I would only reply by saying... honey this cant be captured by any camera.... just take it all in and capture it with your eyes...
Nevertheless, sharing a few of my pictures from the trip. Hope you enjoy them as much...

Beautiful Khajjiar... also known as mini Switzerland in India. The deodars...and green grasslands were breathtaking...this is my favorite picture from the entire trip...and honestly it does no justice to what I saw in person...
