When you get a chance to travel with your daughter and son- in -law to a beautiful place , it is a memorable trip for life.
We both visiited a lovely place, Kasauli in Himachal Pradesh in February 2007.The hotel we stayed was overviewing the snow- clad hills. The weather was very cold. We used to sit out and enjiybtea and snacks.
The scenic atmosphere is to be experienced.We both too were younger to walk through the town. We had driven from Delhi to Kasauli. On our way, we stopped to enjoy Chandigarh, the city I always dreamt to visit. The Rock Garden was fantastic andvwe clicked many photos.
Kasauli is a quintessential hill station surrounded by pine and oak forests with scenic view points and colonial- era landmarks.Kasauli stands at an attitudr of 1,800 metres.
