Himachal
Pradesh
The
family trip was from “Delhi to Kullu Manali” so obviously we all
enjoyed staying different cities passes on the way in Punjab too.
Like Chandigarh, Anandpur Sahib, Amritsar, Manikaran, Ludhiana,
Patiala)
(I
was in class X when I first saw the city of nature-Chandigarh. I
loved the greenery and joyful people there. Punjabis are well known
for support and big hearts and so I completely feel like home there.)

CHAIL, near Shimla |

Tirthan Valley |
Himachal
Pradesh “The state of Himalayas” From
Jammu (Vaishno-Devi temple),Kullu, Manali, Mussoorie, Tirthan Valley
and Chail are the major hill stations I have been few years back and
a feeling of awe mixed with joy pervades you as you look back in
time. Kully-manali and Mussoorie a family trip and rest all with
friends. If any abundant, exuberant natural beauty exist then it will
be only and only in Himachal pradesh.
My
next targets are Shimla and Kashmir.
Uttrakhand:
State of holy cities and religious places
The
city where
I went to accomplish my childhood dreams, where I was excited all 5
days in different activities, where I cherished my life`s valuable
days, city which is situated on the foothills of the himalayan.

Song river, Near Dehradun |
Dehradun, one of the
most visited tourist destinations in India. Surrounded by beautiful
hills, doon valleys and dense forests, city welcomes tourists to come
and enjoy real world of nature. I was there for 5 days IAF(Indian Air
Force) academy as the candidate of ChestNumber-12 in short selection
board. I have visited many Budha temples there and the most beautiful
Budha sculpture which is of 62 feet (I do not remember righly but a
guess)I admired a lot was “Tibbat-Temple”
Three major cities in
uttrakhand I want to visit on priority:Badrinath, Gangotri and
Haridwar.
Sadly! Kedarnath has
faced unforgettable disaster (May all the souls who lost their lives
, rest in peace!)
MAHARASHTRA:

The Taj Hotel |
Last but not the least,
seventh state: “Amchi Mumbai” or better say “Mumbai meri jaan”
(Mumbaikars usualy say this)
If I have to start
writing something for MAH, I will for sure start writing the big
bollywood city “Mumbai”. Unfortunately I have been there for some
time as again a short offical trip (in Navi Mumbai) but let me tell
you my experience was not that great that I would wish to go back
again. Reasons are simple and known. I am a person who less travels
in a bus and trains (luxury trains like Rajdhani or Shatabdi) only
when I have to go hometown but there I was appalled and shocked to
see the crowd in local trains that I had ever seen in my life before.
What to say more? for 2-3 days I loved enjoying Mumbai rains but
again it makes me angry when I reached office with drenched clothes.

What i have observed, Hindi or Marathi is must for banners...Matra Basha! |

Marine Drive |
In other way if have to
explain “Mumbai”. It is the city of big hearts, maidenly and
submissive maharashtrians, a place surrounded by beaches,
jaw-inspring huge buidlings and architecture,lovers spot and
beautiful scenic “Marine Drive”, Juhu beach, Bandra Market, Film
city, Chowpatty beach, The Taj hotel, The Gateway of India Central Park-Kharghar, Hazi-ali Mosque,
SiddhiVinayak Temple, Powai lake. I also visited Shirdi, sai baba ke
dwar.
There are many more
places left in Maharashtra, I will definitely explore in future.
