An Amazing Vacation !

This winter we planned for a trip to a hill station! Well, you would say what a bizarre idea but fortunately it turned out to be an amazing experience (even though it was dead cold on the hills ;-) ). Our trip lasted 10 days from Kolkata to Delhi through Shimla/Manali & back to Kolkata. Even though it was quite a hectic tour, yet we enjoyed every moment of it. Each destination we visited was unique in its own way & had its own enamor & enchantment. Right from the moment we had a sight of the all so special Taj mahal at Agra to the bright & fresh snow covers of the peaks of Manali, it was a treat for the eyes.

It was my third visit to the Taj but the Taj Mahal in all its grandeur mesmerized me yet again with its architectural & romantic beauty. The dainty looks & the grandness of the monuments becharms every tourist.

Manali on the other hand fascinated us with it vividly brilliant snow covers. The beauty of the mountains intrigues me due to its physical & natural attributes. The change of climate & weather refreshed my mind & body away from the hustle & bustle of the polluted cities.

Given a chance & a welcome break, I'll surely shoot for another trip of a hill station - perhaps not during winter ;-) !

Here are some wonderful captures of the trip.
