Introduction
Summer season is mainly known for its heat waves and holidays that we students get because of that. It’s a great time for students to go for a stress relieving trip and to be closer to nature for which they don’t get time during their hectic schedule throughout the year.
We Decided to Go to a Hill Station
Our family decided to go for a summer trip and that too to a hill station this year. There are many beautiful places in India known for their scenic beauty such as Mussoorie, Ooty, Wilson Hills, Kufri, Nainital, Manali, Kerala and Rishikesh to name a few. After a long discussion about which hill station to go for, we finally settled for Shimla.
Our Trip to Shimla
We all went there via road in our car and reached there in the morning. Then, we directly went to the hotel that we had already booked. Shimla has got everything to lure the tourists from lavish hotels to picturesque locations and from mall road to shopping streets full of people coming from different cultures.
We had planned the trip for 5 days. So in the evening of our first day of trip we went to the mall road and Jhaku hills which are known as the main tourist spots in the city. In the evening, there are many different activities going on there. It was amazing to witness the night life of Shimla. We visited the Footloose Discotheque which was full of vibrant people and buzzed with great music.
Our next day included travelling through the toy train. This toy train here runs from Kalka to Shimla. There are only 3 such trains in our country and one of them is here. It’s an amusing experience to travel through them irrespective of the fact that they are really slow. The evening time was spent doing some snow adventures such as skiing and bungee jumping.
The next days were spent visiting places near Shimla such as Chail, Kufri and Chitkul. These places can be visited for some snow adventure besides enjoying their beautiful scenic beauty.
Shimla is also a good treat for foodies like me. A bizarre thing about Shimla’s food is – either there are really tiny diners or cafes offering just fast food, variety of teas and cold drinks or fancy eateries that have over priced alcohol in the menus – there is no ground in between. We had salami burgers at Beekays, which were delicious.
During all these days filled with loads of activities to do, we used to get really tired in the evening, but the night life of there or just staring at the starry sky used to give us immense sense of joy and fill us with new energy. There is an enchanting music from tall trees standing upright there, curvy roads that makes one look at those beautiful hills from all the angles and that lively breeze that fills one’s soul and heart with ecstasy.
Conclusion
We came back to Delhi after spending five fun-filled days in Shimla. The memory of this trip is fresh in my head. Shimla is indeed the queen of hill stations. I would love to visit the place again.

Explanation:
My summer days were spend with my family and some distant cousins.
We decided to cool our minds at the mountains of Himalayas, and Sikkim was a perfect place. I have read somewhere that according to a Lonely Planet, Sikkim was the best region to visit during summers.
12/07/17-We took a plane to Bagdogra, then we took a cab to Gangtok, the capital of Sikkim. We travelled to bumpy and curvy roads and finally we reached there and were welcomed by cool and fresh mountain air and serene beauty.
After taking a rest at the Hotel, we decided to roam a place called M.G. Road, and at the entrance we were welcomed by a bronze statue of Mahatma Gandhi.
The place was brimming with lights and crowds, we took several photos and even treated ourselves with Sikkimese delicacies, momos were my favourite.
13-07-17:Next day we went to a place called Yumthang valley, and it was six hours from our hotel. Even we were in our mid summer, the place was covered with snows and the air felt fresh like ever, my lungs were filled with it. We made snowman and played with snowballs, even had snowfight with my cousins.
The next stop was known as Gurudongmer Lake, the lake was totally frozen, and in the big cold desert there was a lake and a solitary temple build beside it. It was such a beautiful sight.
We halt at a place called Lachung, it was a beautiful valley with icy river flowing by. The place was covered with snows and the people were welcoming and made us feel home.
14-07-17:We returned back to hotel, and the next day it was the day for us to return back to our home, but before going back we made a stop to an antique shop and bought various items and gifts for my friends.
It was the best summer ever, the times were well spent with families and friends, it will be remembered forever.
