Anisha Choudhary, student of Saksham Sanchar Foundation shared her experience of travelling to Shimla via travel blog.
Last December I visited Shimla, Himachal Pradesh. A transformative journey that turned my heart from the shores to the peaks.
And discovering this blog is a sign for you to escape to the dreamy and divine peaks, breathe in the crisp mountain air, and explore the charming heritage sites of Shimla.
