Fabulous pictures Aryan, we would really like to see more of this place(hope u dont mind putting up some more)..

And, also thanks for sharing some info abt the place..!

@Inder: I will surely put up more photographs, by the evening. However, if you want more pictures of Chaukori, instantly, then, you get onto one of those "damned" social networking website called "Facebook" and search me out, or something!

"Dukhti nas pe haath rakh dia"..in office all such damned/interesting/social sites are blocked..!!

Only medium left is viewing here..so will wait till evening..

It is snowing crazily in Himachal. NH-22 blocked at kufri and then at Nakanda. Plan your trips to Himachal accordingly.
Snowfall breaks dry spell in Himachal Pradesh

Yippee!!
Heading out to himachal on this extended weekend. This is great news. Just hope that it doesn't rain too much.

Yes, Kurt heard about it from a friend who stays up there. It is GOOD news, no-doubt but this gloomy weather doesn't leave much to photograph (which is my sole purpose). However, if not now, I'll be visiting some-place in Himachal (or even higher up) in a few days' time.

I am getting live feed from a friend who is in Theog right now. The highway is blocked beyond Theog, and is currently snowing there, as they speak!

Man, thats good!!!!

wow! awesome man had to move in that direction...

Concluded a recent trip to Tehri this weekend! The highlight of this ride, in particular, was getting drenched in snowfall for a good hour in Theog, and wheel spin on black ice, kilometer after kilometer

Shimla Beautiful..

A brief introductin of Shimla.

Originally called Simla, is the capital city of Himachal Pradesh.
In 1864, Shimla was declared the summer capital of the British Raj in India.
A popular tourist destination, Shimla is often referred to as the "Queen of Hills" (a term coined by the British).
Located in the north-west Himalayas at an altitude of 2,128 metres (6,982ft),
the city of Shimla, draped in forests of pine, rhododendron, and oak, experiences pleasant summers and cold, snowy winters.
The city is famous for its buildings styled in tudorbethan and neo-gothic architecture dating from the colonial era.
Shimla is connected to the city of Kalka by one of the longest narrow gauge railway routes still operating in India, the Kalka-Shimla Railway.
Shimla is approximately 115 km (71.4 miles) from Chandigarh, the nearest major city, and 365 km (226.8 miles) from New Delhi, the national capital. The city is named after the goddess Shyamala Devi, an incarnation of the Hindu Goddess Kali.
