Answers
Answer:
There are many hill stations at the southern slopes of the Himalayas. Nainital, Mussoorie, Shimla and Darjeeling are very famous of them. There people enjoy the cool climate and scenery. Thousands of rich people and Government officers go there.
During the last summer, my father was advised by the doctor to take my mother to Nainital to improve her health. I had summer holidays. So I went with them. This gave me great joy. We went upto Kathgodam by train. Then we had to go some kilometres on a bus to reach Nainital. The road went up to the hill in a zigzag way. There were deep valleys on both the sides. The path was difficult. It required great skill on the part of the driver to drive the bus safely. I was so frightened that I began to fear. I expected accident every minute. But the driver was very expert. He drove the bus very carefully.
The scenery of the hill on both the sides was very pleasant. There were green trees and deep valleys. We went higher and higher. When we reached the city of Nainital we saw mountain peaks covered with snow. The sun was shining beautifully. The sight filled me with joy and wonder. I was pleased to see Nainital in the lap of Nature.
We stayed in a small rented cottage standing at the top of the mound. It was small, neat and comfortable. The weather was cool and pleasant. The houses were made of stone and the roads were neat and clean. There was no dust anywhere. We went out for a walk many times -. We had a good time. We went up the hill and enjoyed its scenery. We often went in the evening to the famous tank of Nainital. There was road all round the lake. There were wooden benches here and there. We enjoyed the breeze and the beautiful sight of a tank. We enjoyed bathing in the tank. The light of the electric bulbs was reflected in the water all round.
Our life at Nainital was happy. We were saved from the heat of plains. The water of the streams was sweet and good. The walks in the morning gave us a good appetite. We enjoyed our meals very much. Most of the vegetables of the plane could be got there. But the fruits were cheap. So we ate a good deal of them. Our health improved very much.
We saw many beautiful places in Nainital. Among them we saw Snow View, China Peak, Land's end. We also saw the Government House and the tennis lawns. We visited hotels and restaurants. In the evening we went to walk on the famous Mall Road. We went to lake to enjoy natural scene. We also enjoyed riding. We decided see Bhowali, Ranikhet and Almora. We left Nainital after a week. Bhowali is eight miles from Nainital. The road passed through green trees and high hills. At Bhowali we saw the Sanatorium. Next morning we left for Ranikhet. We liked Ranikhet. It is a calm and quite place. After this we went to Almora. The hotel of Almora was much better than that of Ranikhet. We stayed for a week. Then we came to Kathgodam by bus. We got the train at night. We bade good-bye to the Kumaun Hills. The people living on these hills were very simple, honest and hard-working.
Answer:
During my last summer vacation, I paid a visit to Shimla where my elder brother lives. He is a forest officer there. I planned to go there in summer as the plains at that time are very hot. I boarded the Kalka Mail at Amritsar on the 15th of June. Our train reached Kalka at 5:30 next morning. Then I changed for Shimla.
Our journey to Shimla was through hilly area. The train took a zig-zag track. The air was cool, fresh and pleasant. I felt that it was quite different from the scorching heat of Amritsar. The scenery on the either side of railway track was very charming. The train passed through several tunnels. I reached Shimla at about 2 p.m. My elder brother and my sister in law were at the Shimla station to receive me. Then we hired a coolie and went to my brother’s residence.
I saw various places. I saw roller skating in the skating hall. It was a new thing for me. I also saw the skating ring at the Annandale grounds. I visited the Ridge and the Mall every evening. I also visited Mash bra, Yahoo, Summer Hill and Tara Devi. At Tara Devi I saw monkeys of various sizes and shapes. It was quite amusing to watch them. I also visited places like thereof and chili
I went out for long walk every morning and evening. I inhaled the healthful mountain air. Going up and coming downhill gave me a good exercise. This exercise increased my hanger. I did full justice to my food during my stay at Shimla.
