Top 10 haunted places in India that will give you a cold sweat

By Radhika R Gokul

If you are captivated by supernatural activities and have an interest in ghostly activities then you must surely visit some of the amazing and haunted places within India. All you daring travelers out there be ready and explore some of the finest spooky places.

1.Bhangarh Fort, Alwar

Bhangarh Fort is known as the most haunted place in India, and perhaps the greatest unsolved mystery. There is no doubting the fact that anything associated with the supernatural attracts a huge amount of attention and the deserted city of Bhangarh cashes in on that very idea. The many haunted stories of Bhangarh Fort have transformed it into a bucket list destination of sorts.

Most people are of the belief that Bhangarh Fort is haunted and there is no dearth of tales that help in amplifying the mystery that is Bhangarh. Venturing into the fort after sunset is nothing short of an act of bravery as it is supposed to be a Centre for paranormal activity and the Archaeological Survey of India therefore has prohibited people from visiting the Bhangarh Fort at night.

2. Brij Raj Bhavan, Kota

A palace that was once home to Major Charles Burton and is now a heritage hotel, is rather infamous for being a haunted property. The property soon became the talk of the town when people began saying that it was haunted by the ghost of Major Charles Burton.

Even though his spirit does not really harm anyone, guards working here have often heard a man’s voice speaking in English and commanding them to not fall asleep or smoke. And if they do fall asleep on duty, the ghost even slaps them to wake them up. This incident has happened with quite a number of guards.

3. Charleville Mansion, Shimla

Even Rudyard Kipling in his book My Own True Ghost Story talks about this mansion in Shimla. According to the legend, Victor Bayley came to Shimla with his wife in 1913 when he was appointed the Assistant Secretary of the Railway Board. The couple decided to stay at Charleville Mansion because of its low rent however they did not know that the previous owner of the house, an army officer left the mansion because of a poltergeist’s activities in it.

Since then, the house has seen several occupants and all of them have their own experiences to share. Even though the experiences are enough to send a chill down the spine of the readers and audience, the fact that these ghosts have never been violent in nature brings a sense of relief

4. Kundanbagh Witches’ Lair, Hyderabad

Located in the Kundanbagh area, this house has a peculiar story behind it. According to the story, a burglar went into the house to loot the owners but when he entered the house, he found the dead bodies of three women there. A mother and her two daughters who lived here. He panicked and informed the police about it. Upon further investigation, it was found that the women had been dead for almost six months.

Despite this fact, there were no reports or inquiries about them by the neighbors or locality people. It was also because these women had weird rituals that they would perform every night. The three would light candles and walk around the house. They would also have bottles filled with what looked like blood that they would hang in the veranda. The mother would often scare people off with her antics. Thus, no one really interacted with them.

5. Vas Villa, St Mark’s Road Bangalore

The story is that there were two sisters Dulcie and Vera Vaz. Since their house was in the main market place, they were under constant pressure by the land dealers. Then one fine day, Dulcie was murdered, and Vera Vaz escaped. Since then, the house is left untouched with no information about Vera Vaz.

“It was past mid night and there in the road we saw a woman with white hair and white saree collecting garbage. Her features were just the same as we see the movies of old female ghosts, but at that time she didn't appear to be anything different. She said something to one of us but we could not understand and moved ahead.” told by one of the neighbors.

6. Tunnel No.33, Shimla-Kalka Train Route'

One of the longest tunnels is on the Shimla-Kalka route that is a straight tunnel and lasts for over two minutes. Colonel Barog who was a railway engineer was given the task of constructing a tunnel in this region Alas, he had miscalculated and even after boring holes and digging till the center of the mountain, the laborers from different ends did not meet in the middle. Due to the colonel’s folly, he was fired from the job and also fined by the government. This really depressed him and he felt absolutely humiliated.

Colonel Barog shot himself out of his misery. Barog was buried outside the incomplete tunnel to pay homage to his work. But locals believe he never left the place. His spirit still haunts the tunnel. But even today, people say Colonel Barog pays a visit to the tunnel. He even chats with people who are unaware of his existence but those who know who he is get spooked out. He is also spotted there and then vanishes after a while. The government tried sealing the incomplete tunnel but every time the lock was broken.

7 .House Number W-13 At GK-II ,Delhi

Located in Greater Kailash-1, one of the most affluent localities of Delhi is house number W-3. This house is a dark reminder, a dark song that things that go bump in the night do exist, and they're closer to us than we will ever know. The case was never solved and the property was abandoned. As time passed, the property came to be known as the ghost house. Call it human nature to attach paranormal thoughts to murder and abandonment, the house remained an attraction for over 27 years. Nobody dared enter the premises after sunset and many reported screaming and wailing noises over time.

8. Bonacaud Bungalow, Thiruvananthapuram

Popularly known as 25 GB, the bungalow is located amidst lush thick green forests of the Agastya Mountain ranges. The story goes that the Britisher, who built the bungalow, was the manager of a tea estate. He lived in a single-storied mansion with his family. Although he was said to have loved his home, he returned to London with his wife when his child was found killed under mysterious circumstances. Seeing a young girl by the window, the sound of breaking glass and the screams and laughs of a child appeared and the Bungalow entered a state of disrepair.

9. Dow Hill, Kurseong, West Bengal

Located around 30km from Darjeeling is the Dow Hill of Kurseong, which is the boss of haunted places in India. It is one such place where paranormal activities do not seize whether day or night! Often compared to Beauty and the Beast, Kurseong’s beauty has enough ghost stories too. The Death Road which lies between the Dow Hill Road and Forest Office is the hotspot. People have seen a headless ghost of a young boy walking and disappearing into the forest and also experienced being followed or watched by a bodiless entity. While some have seen a red pair of red eyes staring at them from the forest, others have seen the ghost of a woman in grey. The paranormal activities are so intense that most visitors lose sense or kill themselves.

10. Lambi Dehar Mines, Uttarakhand

Located 10 km from Mussoorie, this abandoned mine stretches a couple of kilometers in length, adding to the eerie factor and one of the most haunted places in India. The story goes that during the 1990s, around 50000 mineworkers lost their lives here due to inappropriate mining practices. The workers succumbed to a painful death coughing and lung disorder. Ever since then people have reported mysterious incidents at the site like helicopter crashes or hearing wailing and crying in pain.

HORROR

Mashobra is a small hamlet about thirteen kilometres from Himalayan town of Shimla an hour's drive from there through a winding ,twisting narrow moountainous road througha landscape of sheer virgin beauty. With the comping up of a whole lot of hotels guesthouses and resorts. it has become quite a crowded place today.Once this was no more than a peacefull little village situated in the middle of a thick coniferous forest- stark and glorious.Mashobra is my birthplace.Despite the fact that i spent only the first year of my life here i have a special attachment to it.THE lonely hills supporting a dense coniferous forest the lush undergrowth the exotic himalayan birds the glorious sunrise and sunset-they all hold a magical attraction for me.I love the intensemystical silence that gets interrupted only by the tweets of the birds,or by the chattering monkeys fighting inter troupe battles. And when the wind blow through the bush,it creates its own music-intensely haunting and hypnotizing.this pristine forest is timeworn-mony of these luxuriant deodars pines junipers, and oaks tall on these slopes have witnessed several generations come and go.they are mute witnesses to epochs of the known and the unknow history.Mystery is concealed in every nook and corner of these mesmerizing hills.I remember one episode from the time i was a little schoolgirl.I had gone with Pa to Mashobra,where he was presiding over a seminer at the GramSevak training centre.His seminar had continued unendingly ,leaving me bored and hungry.Our driver Sant ram offered to take me for crispy hot pakoras to a dhaba at talai abiut a kilometre away I jumped at the tempting proposal.An almost flat undulating patch of the grassland,that steadily rose up into a hillock to the south and subsided into a gradual velley to the north,talai was a very alluring playground.I chased butterflies around a small insignificant pond of green thick scum of moss, while hot pakoras were being freshly fried for me at the dhaba. Once we sat down to eat, Sant Ram informed me,"you knows ,baby ji entine area acquires its name from this humble pool-Talai ""oh". My eyes roved around to unearth more mysteries.I than spotted a large mansion hidden behind a thick cluster of trees at the top of the hillock.Who lives that house, SantRam?""That's the faridkot estate owned by the Raja of Faridkot.Faridkot is an panjabi." Hmm Visible from the dhaba was also a dilapidated house."Why is that house so broken and worn out?No one lives there?" I asked, enjoying a hot pokara in yummy tamarind chutney."Oh Baby ji, it is supposed to be a bhootia banngla a haunted house."I stopped munching. my interst in a ghost made me forget how famished I was. Ieyed the house in an entirely new perspective.curiosity and fear were two strong contenders in my young mind producing goose pimples all over my little body but I allowed my curiosity to override. Hesitating a little, i asked, Really ? Teel me about it.Sant Ram was quiet for a few seconds .He must have been making up his mind whether to tell me the story."there had been a terrible fire here long ago." I watched the dhaba owner nod spiritedly. His upheld opinion added more flavour to the story.I now noticed the blackened stone structure and the frameless windows and doors-whatever had survived the assault of fire and time. Sant Ram elaborated,"the fire broke out at night. the lady living alone in it was fast asleep and was burnt alive. Some think the fire was started deliberately-asabotage. IT is belived that her spirit lives in the house.""Who was the lady? Didn't she have children?" "No, no children. She was very close to the Raja, hos special friend, you know-girlfriend. He had given her this house."Sant Ram explained with a meaningful smile. He thought I would not understand. But I had instantly perceived what he meant;the way he exchanged glances with the dhaba owner. " But , no one dares to touch the house. people who tried had bad experiences once they began removing the wreckagr."What bad experience, Sant Ram? i insisted timorously .it would be a nice ghost story to tell to my friend."They fell ill, or had nightmars i which a woman told them to leave her house alone etcetera ." Sant Ram's pursed lips and enlarged eyes unnerved me, which he didn't notice. "No one dares to repair or live in that house,despite it being located at a very prime site.All of a sudden, it occurred to me that the ghost was perhaps watching me from the ruins. My little body shivered.I hurriedly gobbled the leftover pakoras. "Sant Ram, please take me back to pa." the house, seemingly right out of a horror story had begun to frighten me.Much later,when I was a young collage girl, I come to know about a creepier supernatural incident that had transpired here in Mashobra many year ago with someone very close to my family. It happned before I was born In 1952 at the behest of the government at new delhi, a Gram Sevak Training Centre came up at Mashobra and Pa was appointed its first principal. My family lived on the first floor of the main building. its ground floor had the administrative offices. The lecture rooms and the auditorium were housed in an adjacent building. The Students' hostal and the staff quarters were about a kilometre walk down the hill near the famous coutts garden.The student and staff community wasn't a large one.There were about twenty students and six members of the teaching faclty. only one of the lecturers ,Raj Vaidya, was married. It was a mid-january evening of the year 1953. Dark clouds had descended like a gigantic rolling ocean in the sky.It had been snowing non-stop for the past two days.Two feet of frozen vapour covered the land scape,hiding all colours under its white caps.The bitter cold had restrained folks inside their home.The students and the teaching staff of the centre were on two months long winter break. only my family and some of the administrative staff had remained behind at the Centre.The deserted expanse was even more desolate now and over whelmingly silent.It was well after dinnertime.My parents were in the sitting room warming their feet in the dying fire at the fireplace and exchanging notes on the day's events before retiring for the night. they were jolted out of their reverie by a loud knock on the door. " I wonder who has come at this time.," Pa got up from his chair to check on the unexpected caller. When the door was opned in breezed a draught of chilled wind and centre's compounder krishan das Negi. wrapped in a blanket over his khadi coat, BUSHEBRI cap and a home knit woollen muffler he stood shivering with a worried frown creasing his brow. Pa quickly shut the door. "I am worried about Hari ram's health," Pa later expressed to Ma. he looked so ghostly pale.I wonder what's wrong with him then he added hope the doctor on duty is efficient.By lunchtime there was still no news of the sick man if everything went well they should have reched the hospital by ten thirty, Maybe eleven even if they went slowly." Pa eyed the telephone."I had specifically asked Krishan to call me.Why hasn't he?'His restlessness made Ma concerned for him."Why don't you call the hospital?. she posed."I have tried the hospital reception,Can't get through."Pa shook his head dejectedly."they must have got busy looking after the patient,or maybe the telephone there is out of order.You know it's very common in winters.WIRES SNAG." Ma tried to put his mind at ease.She wanted keep them away from this unfortunate death. they were too tnder to be exposed.It was later that details were divulged to her.of about four miles when they came across a huge mound of snow completely bloking the road It was a minor avalanche but couldn't be cleared without the help of the public work department. but there was stranded on the orther side of the blockade agreed to return to shimla and arrange for the required. Hari Ram condition continued to deteriorate. his body went into tremors and he began to get disoriented. By and by he went silent. the men accompanying him thought he had fallen asleep.The temperature was dropping fast and the light was fading. they waited and waited for someone to arrive to clear the road.None came when Krishan tried walking Hari Ram up, to make him drink some tea, he realized he wasn't hotnanymore. Had the fever subsided? He then realized Hari Ram wasn't breathing.he trived reviving him all in vain Hari Ram's spirit had long been released and his body now lay lifeless.Hari Ram belonged to a remote village in theog tebsil of Himachal. He had lost both his parents ,however his two older brothers still lived in the village with their families.Pa telephoned the agriculture inspector posted at theog, asking him to inform Hari Ram's family of the misforture. He expected Hari Ram broyhers to take his body to their village for the last rites.Meanwhile the body was kept buried in snow for two days. when even by the thidr day nobody reached Mashobra to claim the body, pa sent another urgent message. Pa quickly shut the door."What brings you here at this time,Krishna?" Krishna rubbed his ice-cold hands."Sir,Hari Ram is running a very high fever for the past two days,and it's showing no sings of subsiding.I have been giving him paracetamol table every four hours since yesterday but it hasn't made any difference ti his fever. There is no cough no running nose." Hari Ram was the peon at the centre. "Stomach infection?" Pa asked ."No, Sir. No diarrhoea, no vomiting. He's complaining of a severe headache though.i fed him half a slice of bread and half a cup of ter with great difficulty.He hasn't eaten anything else the entire day. I don't know what is wrong with him .I checked his temperature before comeing to you. it was 105`fahrenheit since the evening he has also been blabbering incoherently he's very serious SIR he need to see a doctor.Hmm we must admit him in a hospital immediately. Pa shook his head worriedly."It is too late now, sir. driver pitamber has left and his house is three kilometters away There is no way we can take Hari Ram to the hospital now.'Oh NOT much can be done immediately in this bad weather keep cold compressess on his forehead and try to keep his fever down.If his condition doesn't improve by the morning go and fetch pitamber from his house and take himto SHIMLA, TO Snowdon hospital.Krishna appeared dismayed. it wouldn't br easy to plod through mounds of snow early in the morning in the bitter cold especially if he was going to be looking after the patient the entire night. Pitamber should be reporting on duty around nine. Sir. Even if I leave at seven to call him we can't be back before nine .'YOU forget Krishan,tomorrow is sunday. pitamber will not be coming. go as early as you can. Let's not take chances." oh yes, sir I WILL leave as soon as I can." And Krishan once again retreated into the dark cold night. there was no improvement in weather conditions the next morning. It was a daRK COLD AND blustery day. around nine there were noise of hectic activity outside. The frozen engine of the jeep took consistent effort and warm weter to come to like.Krishan and Pitamber brought Hari Ram on a chair and lifted him into the jeep. He had lost tremendous weight in just a few days and looked so pallid that Pa was taken aback. A STRANGE abnormal look in his eyes was frightening. Despite his condition he threw a weak smile at Pa. "you" ll be fine Hari Ram, Pa assured him be strong.Hari Ram nodded faintly. I ll be back soon he whispered.Pa stroked his head.of couse,you ll be!Before they left pa gave Krishan strict instructions,"Call me as soon as you reach the hospital.I wiill speak with the doctor on duty." though he personally knew a few doctors at the hospital he also knew that it being sunday not many doctors would be available at the hospital except the ones on emergency duty. THE clock tricked on. there was no information about hari ram's health even by the evening.Finally at five o' clock, Pa had enough of waiting around in tension.grabbing his overcoat he got into his snowshoes."where are you going in this cold? It'll be dark soon."Ma eyed him check.""You can't walk till the hospital,ten miles away in this snow,"Ma expressed her apprehension."No,I am not going to the hospital.Of course not! Will just walk till talai.I need some exercise."Ma nodded. A short walk would do him good ease him out a little. she ardently prayed for hari ram's health as she stood at the window watching Pa trudge through the snow. he had been away for barely fifteen minutes when Ma rushed out on hearing the sound of an approaching vehicle. It was the centere's jeep as she had expected Pa alighted from it.He looked pape and immensely miserable. In an instant Ma realized that things weren't good.Pitamber got off and rushed to help other from the back of the jeep.Krishan was next to dismount.Then both of them removed hari ram from the jeep.he was wrapped in a sheet from head to toe."Oh my God! What happened? Ma was shaken and upset."Sorry, memsahib we couldn't bring him back alive,"Krishan spoke through his choked throat. tears streamed down his cheeks. pitamber sobbed openly "He was such a wonderful man. why did he have to go so early?"Ma closed her eyes and silently prayed for the departed.the handsome cheerful face of Hari Ram hovered for the departed.The handsome cheerful face of Hari Ram hovered before her eyes.He was too young to die.After the intial shock she hurried inside to her children.The body couldn't be kept forever .this time he was told that hari ram's family was finding it difficult to travel due to the blocked roads.It was left on Pa to undertake the required ceremonies. Early next morning a priest was arranged. he came reluctantly;he couldn't be blamed. It hadn't stopped snowing for the past four days. More than three feet of snow covered the entire expanse of the town, draping it in white as if in mourning for the departed.Hari Ram's body was taken in the jeep to the cremation grounds. Clearing a small patch. they made the funeral pyre under a makeshift tin roof. It become very difficult to light the damp wood. finally krishan consigned the body to flames after a great struggle and many tins of ghee. the priest half-heartedly chanted mantras for the peace of the departed soul and shivered continuously in the cold. As if this wasn't enough a raging blizzard struck soon after the pyre was lit. blinded by the snow crystals, they all had to beat a hasty retreat.THE next day when krishan and pitamber went to the cremation ground, they were stumped. Hari Ram's body hadn't burnt completely. the keeper of the cremation ground had neglected his job of watching over the burning pyre. they were now in a dilemma ."the best thing now will be to do the needful in haridwar suggested krishan. Hari Ram's remains were anyway to be taken to haridwar as customary in hindu religion."how will we take these half burnt remains there? Pitamber probed. "The interstate bus service has been suspended dee to the snowstorms. And ,i don't think I can take the risk of driving through this strom.We'll get stranded for sure so don't even make that suggestion to principal sahib."Neither were the remain in a condition to be kept for too long. the keeper of the cremation grounds suggested burying the remains of hari ram in a suitable place realizing it to be the most expendient proposal in the given circumstances the men complied and kept silent over the whole affair.Early march with the culmination of the winter break the hustle-bustle of the insitute was restored. In the close knit community of the centre the death of a young man was shocking-almost unbelievable. Hari Ram's affable smile happy go lucky persona and free spirit had fetched him lots of friends among the staff and students. Now he was so far away from them all.A condolence meeting was held which held which was attended by all except one person associated with the community. Raj Vaidya a senior staff member had returned without his family. his wife neema had stayed back to spend more time with her parents looking after the younger doughter just a few months old was easier with the help of her mother .

the routine at the institute resumed. the cold began to wane and with it the memory of the departed. A new man replaced the deceased and life's routines continued.Summers arrived in may and Neema Vaidya returned home.the day temperature were comfortable twenty five degree and the night were cool the bright sunshine had begun to spread its golden warm cape over the mountains. the honeysuckle creeper scrambling up on one of the pillars in her house's portico was in full bloom and had spread its heavenly aroma far and wide. THE chestnut tree was once again filled with prickly fruits the apple,plum,and apricot tree on the hilly terraces were laden with small unripe fruits. May 10,1953 around four in the afternoon- the routine bustle in the students' hospital adjoining Neema's house was missing usually the students returned after classes around this time but presently the annual examinations were going on and today's paper was scheduled for the afternoon. IT would finish at five her husband was on invigilation duty and hadn't come home for lunch.the hectic toil since the morning had exhausted the mother of two children ever since her exhausted the mother of two children ever since her return a few days ago her seven=months=old chitra had been a bit cranky taking time to adjust to her new environment her three-year-old veera was happy to be back with her father and in an overly playful mood. today much to her relief both her gils had decided on a long afterniin nap.It was a warm languorous afternoon inducing drowsiness and Neema took advantage of the opportunity. A short nap of half an hours was very rejuvenating.Once up she decided to finish her knitting. There was no season in shimla when the children could do without woollens. opening the window of her sitting room wider to enjoy a fresh cool breeze she sat down on an easy chair facing the window with her knitting. She must have been at her work for berely five minutes when she dropped a stitch and got focused on retrieving it. it was then that she heard a voice.someone greeted her from the open window."How are you,Memsa'ab?"She raised her eyes from her task to check on the visitor a man in a loose whitish shirt stood just outside the open window. oh hari ram ? I'm fine. seen you after a long time how are you?""how's veera?""Children are doing well thank you."i'll take veera with me."thank you hari ram not now she's sleeping. with great difficulty she went to sleep."Neema smiled."Maybe later in the evening you can take her to play outside. Hari ram nodded and left.She found nothing amiss except hari ram had sounded very different his voice was much deeper and distant as if he was making an effort to speak.

Hari Ram had often looked after looked after Veera. He was such a fine person.After chitra had been born he had been a big help when neema was struggling alone with the household chores and her children before she had gone home to mandi for winters he had come so often whenever he had some free time at hand. He loved to play with her little girls, especially veera-a very happy and lively child ,and very pretty with lovely pinkish complexion and large expressive hazel eyes. ever since she had learnt to talk she had become a non-stop chatterbox.Neema would smile seeing Hari Ram burst into laughter at her baby prattle.It 'll be nice if Hari Ram came in the evening to take veera out to play. Raj will come tried, and probably won't have the energy, Neema reflected and continued to knit blithely.Raj came home late the evening around six thirty.Students had appeared in his subject's exam that day, so it had taken him some time to count the papers and make the bundles.With the bundles under his arm,he reached home with the intention of starting to correct immediately,after his usual cup of tea. THE children were up and playful.it was a pleasure to come back home to his lovely family.the couple sat down to their evening tea in the dining corner of their sitting room Little chitra was happing gurgling in her father's lap and veera was making all efforts to climb onto his lap too.What an attention seeker she's becoming! wouldn't let her father have A cup of tea peacefully. Neema gently held the child's hand and pulled her towards her. Veera go and play with your toys.No, I want to sit on papa's lap. You take chitra away , the three-year-old persisted."Papa is tired,beta.""No,papa is not tired.He will play with me.""Now,don't be an adamant child,and come here,"the mother chaged her tone to sound firmLet her be Neema. She needs an outing. though I need to start correcting the papers,I'll take the girls out a while after I finish the tea."No, you don't have to. you can do your corrections .Hari ram said he would come to take veera out to play.He's late. Maybe he's on his way."Raj stared at her. 'What? what did you say?'"Hari Ram had come in the afternoon, around four. I told him to come in the evening and take Veera out to play,"Neema reiterated. She couldn't understand the changed expression on her husband's face. she lifted her cup to take a sip."Are you sure it was hari ram the peon?It could have been someone else,"Raj spoke gingerly. Neema put her cup down on the saucer.why someone else?don't I know Hari Ram? He used to take veera out to play so aften and at times help me with the household work. It could have been the new peon who has joined recently Raj affirmed despite his doubts.He know that the new peon was nowhere close to resembling hari ram.He was short short and stout unlike the deceased man moreover Neema hadn't even met the new peon. what wrong with raj? Does be think I can't recognize people well? why are you saying that?Being away for a few months has not made me forget Hari Ram's face."when did he last come to help you?Raj spoke warily his heart in his mouth.beads of perspiration had collected on his brows.Neema remained unawere of it all."Hmm... He come after a long time today. Neema frowned and than said,"In fact for the first time since my return from mandi. "did he come in-inside the house?" Neema wondered why raj sounded so anxious and afraid NO, he stood outside at the window. children were asleep so I didn't feel the need to let him in. Though he will come now; he said so Neema sipped tea and watched Raj looking at the window as if it was something out of the world. why was he acting so weied? The window was still open. beyond it the twilight was slowly slipping into night. Only the pillar was faintly visible in the grey haze the cool breeza of the mountains streamed in generously through the window wafting in a little chill. Neema couldn't grasp what was making Raj so nervous,He was trying to stand but couldn't since veera sat at his feet.Neema please hurry shut the window. The desperation in his voice was palpable. Why does be want to shut out the lovely breeza? Neema relucatantly got up. she peeped out of the window. the fragrance of the blooming flowers was heavenly. she took a deep breath and lingered at the window for a few seconds.Neema shut the window Raj's voice rumbled a mixture of concern and fear.OKay I'm closing it why are you getting so worked up? Neema grudgingly closed and bolted the window and returned to finish her tea she frowned when she took a ship It had gone cold She liked to drink it hot she peeped inti Raj's empty cup and then picked up her cup and moved towards the kitchen to reheat it. Raj was sitting absolutely still on his chair looking pale and distrubed. What gone wrong with his mood Neema wondered would you like another cup of tea, dear.?NO, When Neema returned with her steaming cup refilled, she found Raj still sitting frozen in the same pose as she had left him. He was tightly holding in the same pose as she had left him.He was tightly holding on to his daughters. chitra was peacefully playing with her father's tie. Veera had lovingly rested her head on his chest and was sucking her thumb.Is something the metter?Are you not feeling well?"Neema sat down with her cup of tea.I relly don't understand.....understand what?, Neema lifted her cup and brought it close to her lips.Hari Ram is dead."What rubbish! He was here around four in the evening ." She frowned. She was about to take a sip but her hand froze in mid air."Did he die after that? He seemed all right. Was it an accident "NO. he died this winter, when we were away, Raj spoke slowly guardedly. he didn't want to frighten Neema. but he hadn't chosen the right moment. A choked scream escaped Neema's throat. she dropped the cup with its hot tea on her lap, scalding her thighs. the cup rolled down crashed on the floor, and broke into fragment. the children got frightened at the clattering and their mother's sudden reaction. they begen to wail. Neema's vision automatically traversed to the window. She was relieved it was shut. She was shivering and her burnt thighs hurt. But she remained glued to the chair. The couple gazed at each other. Had Neema known about the man's death and then had seen his ghost, it could have been taken as a figment of her imagination a hallucination. but she had no inkling to the fact that Hari Ram had died while he was away to mandi. No one had bothered to let her know for Hari Ram was a forgotten man now out of most lives and minds. After comforting their daughters, the couple rushed to the little shrine in the corner of their bedroom. they lit a lamp burnt a bunch of incense sticks and offered prayers for the peace of the wandering soul. they prayed for the safety of their daughters. "Please protect us. No harm should ever come to our little family," They appealed to God. Later when Neema went to the kitchen to cook dinner, her husband followed her with his daughter still held protectively in his arms. The silence around their house felt unnerving. The students were busy preparing for the next day's exam and there wasn't the usual bustle around. Neema loudly and continuously incanted hymns to keep the restive spirit a bay. She could berely give attention to her cooking. As they sat down for dinner ,Raj expressed, "Neema, let's just keep quiet over the incident. There in no need to spread panic among the students. Most will not believe us anyway. Neema nodded. there was hardly anybody here with whom she shared that kind of rapport except with Mrs. Sharma the principal's wife she was like a older sister. But if Raj was insisting there most be a good reason for not disclosing it unless the ghost appeared tp more people, it may be a good idea to keep it a secret. The next few weeks went by smoothly. There were no unwanted visits no eerie visitor. the dread and dismay to fade from their lives. The routine at the training centre went on undisturbed. NONE except the couple had the knowledge about a wandering spirit among them. but they had prayed for its peace and perhaps that had its effect Hopefully the spirit had gone to its eternal rest. The examination at the school were over and the results were declared. The students prepared to go home. the first year batch on annual vacations whereas the graduates would soon jobs. the weather was warmer than the previous month. the weather was previous month the bushes on the hills were filled with vibrant blooms. their exotic, heavenly fragrance infused hearts with joy. Pa decided to organize a special treat for his students and a ferewell for the outing batch. After some deliberation He came to the conclusion that nothing would be more appealing to the young folks than the Indian Cinema.IT was very rare for the residents of this far-removed mountainous region to be able to watch a movie. the nearest cinema hall was in shimla, not easily accessible to all. Also it would be a big hassle to take everyone to a theatre at shimla. So, he decided to bring a cinema hall to the institution. He spoke with the director of the public relations department and he agreed to send his moblie cinema van complete with a screen projector and spools of the latest hindi film.Aankben starring bharat bhushan and nalini jaywant. He would also send along his technicians to set up a mini cinema hall for a day.When the announcement was made about the show there was an air of excitement in the campus. indian films becomes the hot topic for discussions the actors the movies songs and singers the debate kept on till the cinema van arrived on friday morning.Though the movie was to begin after lunch at two all students arrived from their hostel by ten in the morning as soon as the word spread that the cineama van had arrived on they requested the canteen owner to prepare early lunch and he happily obliged. HE didn't want to miss the show either So a picnic in the lawns before the moving got added to the entertainment a package.The technicians got busy setting up the moving theatre surrounded by a crowd of chattering curious excited students. By one thirty a big crowd had assembled outside the makeshift cinema hall word had spread in the two-mile radious and many families arrived uninvited for the show. So the movie was running a full house.Pa's contentment was marred by the fact that Ma wouldn't be joining him. she had developed a severe headache and had declared her inability to come. Another missing member was Neema vaidya. Her infant daughter was running a fever and she decided not to risk exposing her further. The machinery developed some snag and the movie show could begin only by two thirty.Once the black and white movie began the excited chatter instantly died down. Although the area around Neema's house was never a crowded zone due to the presence of the student community, its was seldom that still during the daytime.there would always be some kind of activity, sounds, and laughter around. Today, an overwhelming silence hovered on the region like hushed mist over a clam ocean. Ma swallowed a paractamol table with water and decieded to take's it easy. It was a rare opportunity to rest in the afternoon. All children including the hyper youngset, were away for at least three hours. She made hereself snug inside a quilt. Soon the medicine took effect and she was fast asleep.

A kilomettre away, Neema fed both her daughter. chitra had been restive since the morning; her fever made her cantankerous. Neema put nasal drops into her blocked nose,soothed her, sang her a lullaby and fimally managed to lull her to sleep. Veera was playing with her toys. her sleeping hours were decreasing day by day as her curious little mind was focused on the discovery mission.It was a lovely summer afternoon with a cool and pleasant breeza blowing gently. Neema opened the window to allow fresh air inside her bedroom. she stood there admiring the blooming flowers even though the intense silence in the area was making her uneasy. A fleeting memory of the eerie incident of last month crossed her mind but she immediately tossed it out. Hadn't they prayed ardently for the peace of Hari Ram's soul? She once again joined her hands and said a quick, silent prayer. But the loneliness depressed her today. She felt left out. She wanted to watch the movie. She had seen only two in her lifetime. that was before her children had been born. Raj hadn't even offered to stay back with the babies and allow her to go.But then he was needed to maintain discipline among the students. Neema heaved a deep sigh and withdrew from the window.Since Veera was up and playing, she couldn't lie down to rest even though her back felt stiff.There was some stitching left to be completed. She had been stitching dressess for her daughters. She kept the sewing machine on the tabe and sat down to work on it. An icy draught of air entered her room through the window. she shivered a little. the wheel of the hand-operated sewing machine continued moving in circles. The needle sewing machine continued moving in circles. the needle went up and down to attach the small bodice of the frock with the skirt.A sudden dimness in the light made her wonder if it was getting cloudy. she had her laundry drying on the clothesline outside. The weather in shimla was so unpredictable. the pre-monsoon rains would start any day, declaring an end to the divine summer season of shimla- her mind kept wandering from one thought to another. Her hands deftly kept on stitching the dress.A stray dog enjoying the late afternoon sun in the porch suddenly whined breaking her thought process.The whining become distant. The dog had rushed away. Had someone hurt it?

Igloo stay in Himachal Pradesh’s Manali attracts tourists and locals in hordes - travel

The igloo stay in Manali has become a new attraction for tourists visiting Himachal Pradesh.Although igloos are often associated with Eskimos, they were traditionally used by the people of Canada’s Central Arctic, Norway, and Greenland.As the temperature in Himachal Pradesh is below freezing point, people from across the country have come here to get the experience of warm bedding in igloos which is built with snow.

India’s first Igloo hotel in Manali is the fresh tourist attraction, on Wednesday. ( ANI ) “I had heard about Igloo and even read about it in books but never got a chance to stay there. For the first time, I have seen this here. So, I stayed here for a few days and the experience was great. At night usually, the temperature drops down to -10 degrees celsius. There are proper facilities for the people here and it is also an attraction for the tourists,” Harish Thakur from Shimla.“I have come from Ahmedabad. There is no place like this in India. Igloo is a great concept. People usually travel to other foreign places to experience the stay in an igloo but here they have created the same environment. I would suggest people to visit here,” Dharmendra told ANI.

Tourist click selfie with India’s first Igloo hotel in Manali, on Wednesday. ( ANI ) The owners say it is difficult to maintain the stay as it has to be maintained according to the temperature.“Earlier, we used to make this for our own use. When we had to go for skiing in high mountains the tent was not sufficient. Later, we got the idea of making this for people visiting here. We carried out a proper study on the igloo and on what weather condition this can be built. It is difficult to provide facilities to people but we are trying our best,” the owner told ANI.The igloos are decorated with lights and the temperature inside the stay is much higher.

A Journey to Himalayas (Dev Bhumi)

Hii !! Friends here I am with my First destination. This trip was beyond travelling, happiness & enjoyment. I have started to see this world from a different and polished sight after finishing this & that’s how i realized that how travelling can bring huge difference in anyone’ life.

Anu & Shruti was my partners for this amazing journey. We spend the most magnificent 15 days together and explored the most beautiful places of India.

So we started our journey from ISBT Kashmiri Gate Delhi. We got our way from Delhi to Chandigarh by Volvo. We were heading towards Chandigarh with excitement, so many questions, joy and so on.

Chandigarh to Shimla :

It was a comfortable journey and we reached to our first stop Chandigarh. Chandigarh is a beautiful & green city. We did not get a chance to stay there for long as another 1000 Kms. were waiting for us. So after a stay of 1 hour we started our journey for Shimla – the most known hill station of India. Almost 4 hours of beautiful drive with mesmerizing sight scenes we reached Shimla .It was not very late in evening but because it is a hill station it get dark early .

Shimla -A short round up:

Shimla was looking beautiful, the mountains were filled with thousands of lights, and there was a fragrance in the air which made us to stay there for one night. We found a good hotel surrounded by hills and natural beauty for our night stay. Though we were tired but we actually got high on the air of Shimla and we decided to roam around and had the delicious food of Shimla from the local street vendors. We had the most delicious Momos here served with hot chili chutney, pudina chutney and white sauce, and serving was enough to keep us full in just Rs. 30. After visiting the main street of Shimla which is well known as Mall road we got our way back to hotel with beautiful memories of Shimla. We slept with a desire to wake up early to witness the sun rise of Shimla.

Shimla – Sangla- Rakcham- Chitkul- Kalpa- Kinaur-Spiti - Tabo- Naco- Kaza- Key Monestry-Kibber .

As I told we wanted to witness the sunrise, but we got late by 00:30 minutes but still the city was having the beauty of that red sunlight which left us satisfied. We packed and started our journey with local Roadways bus to Reckong Peo (district headquarters of Kinnaur Valley) .Along the highway is the natural beauty of Satluj River, its valley and towering hills. High way was in a fair condition, except some bad patches due to the landslides that may occur anytime. Sometimes, when our bus was passing through a narrow section of the road and when we looked below, down to hundreds of feet, the fierce flow of Satluj can shiver your spine with thrill and excitement. Some snaps are here from our way :

The beauty and Vibrations of those places were making us to change our plans every next hour and finally we changed our decision and we three got down in the middle of our way and hired a local taxi driver for Chitkul .

This place where we got down was actually near The Kailash , unexplored, away from the crowd of developed towns so pure and beautiful. We were stopping our cab almost every 100 meters,just to witness God’s beautiful creations !! And I don’t know why it just came in my mind that why we all are after world tours, oversea trips ? It does not mean that I am against of the idea World Travel!! I just I mean why people want to pay a crock of gold when they can see something equally beautiful in their own country.

So let’s just continue and suddenly for 5 minutes all our excitement got down , when we saw a long queue of vehicles , standing and waiting for their turn to pass from hilly way which was half destroyed because of a recent land slide. We were thrilled and we started to talk to some local workers there with our never ending queries about the place.

The local people there were so simple and honest, we actually found an Old lady working there and we started to call her Nani Ji !! She was very much interested to click photographs with us and on this cost she provided us a number of useful information about the area, which actually helped us a lot during our stay. After a struggle of almost 2 hours workers there opened the way and we passed from that deadly road , by the time we crossed Sangla it was completely dark and the roads were looking quite horrified but we continue to head towards Rakcham.

Rakcham & Chitkul :

Rakcham is relatively unknown place, located midway between two lesser unknown places, Sangla and Chitkul. The beauty of this small village with a population of 800 defies words – so I have tried using more of snaps than words.

The Village lies of left side of the main road and on the right gloriously flows the Baspa river. The force of water is not as menacing. At places, we could easily walk across to the other side, but as it was dark so we postponed the idea for our return way.

Since it was a spontaneous decision to halt at Rakcham, we approached the first logical shelter located at Chitkul end of the main road. It was seems an ok stay until we wake up in the morning and witness the extraordinarily fantastic view across our room window , which I want you to watch in updated video and this picture clicked at 4 A.M here and you can realize the joy we had.

As we were the first arrivals of the season, hotels were empty and we got really a good discount and from the owner of hotel we have arranged one Scorpio with Driver named Mr. Ballu which we used to call Ballu Bhaiya for rest of our journey. We had a great dinner as hotel owner offered food from his own kitchen.

Next day, the first agenda on our schedule was to visit the village, which was just across the road from the hotel. We have visited Kali and Shiva temples, are marvelous structure built by the local people.

Villagers were extremely friendly .Ballu Bhaiya was a local from Rakcham ,he took us to his home and his wife given us some fresh Aple from their backyard garden with a local Himachali cap and according to Ballu Bhaiya I was looking like a Upri kinour ki Chokri ( snap I have put down ) we were overwhelmed receive those beautiful gifts. Here i am with the local Himachali cap:

Then We started for Chitkul , at a drive time of about 45 min, at noon. Chitkul was very enjoyable and had abundant snow, Anu and Shruti indulged in their mad monkey acts with thick layers of snow, some snaps of chitkul are here:

We spend almost 3 hours which gave me a lot of time to feel the valley and its charm. We all three were as quite as we were so astonished to see the creation of god!! With beautiful memories, silence, peace and an amazing feeling we started for Kalpa.

Kalpa :

Kalpa is a small town (rather village) surrounded by Apple orchards and beautiful landscapes. Two main paved roads cover the upper and lower part of this town. The major portion of this town is situated along the lower road. But all the good hotels are situated on the upper road And Since, it’s not a very famous destination in the conventional tourist circuit, the shortage of the rooms are not a problem in Kalpa so we decided to find a hotel later and started to visit the local temples and main market.

There are no particular sightseeing spots in Kalpa. You have to just walk along the upper road or on the lower road passing through the middle of apple orchards to enjoy the beauty of nature and solace of Kalpa. And we spent some time like this roaming arround and decided not to check in, instead we started our journey towards kaza from Kalpa.

Kalpa- Reckong peo- Nako

So we headed our way towards Kaza, we decided to stop at Poo and continue the journey for a night stay in Nako, but the locals told us that roads are blocked due to landslide and we couldn’t be able to make it today hence we chose to spend the night in Reckong Peo and decided to go to Poo and Nako next day.

So we wake up early morning had our breakfast from the little chef restaurant (it was good) amazing breakfast and started the journey for Poo & Nako. On our way we saw JCB machines were cleaning the roads which made us more excited and adventures for the upcoming journey.

The journey was so beautiful, it seemed like Satluj have joined us for the trip , it was flowing with us off the road, Iron and wooden Bridges, bumpy and destructed roads were making the scenes out of the world. On first sight it was looking like a different planet we are running on.

Suddenly we guys were seemed lost, we were not talking to each other, scared of blinking even so we can’t miss the inch of this beauty .

The roads were too bumpy and suddenly we saw this funny sign board -Sorry for Ooh Ahh Ouch Inconvenience regretted!! That can make you smile after such a driving .

By the time we reached village names Dubling , the view of the valley got much better , we were able to see the snow on the peaks of the mountains .

It was like we entered to Planet no. 2. The roads turned better and the mountain color , stone , sand was different here, But Satluj River remained the same .I still remember Shruti said “ Kya pagal Nadi hai yaar , look at the flow man !!” Give it a look:

Finally we reached Nako , It was looking like a beautiful slot of green farms are welcoming us .

As we get down we three was hearing our heartbeat so clear in our ears , it may be because of the air pressure on height . And we were keep on saying “Yaar, kuch to ho raha hai !!” So according to Shruti Madam it’s happening because I am hungry, So she took me to a local small café and we had yak milk tea and yak milk cheese Masala Omelet !! And it was not bad. Try this for sure on your visit to Nako.

So we started to explore the Village, It has a natural lake and a small Monastery.

So we spend almost 3 hours in the monastery, watching the new monastery and old as well. It was not allowed to capture the images of old monastery.

Local People of Nako were amused to see us that you three girls came here alone!! I don’t know why but everyone is saying this to us including Ballu bhaiya. So we were treated slight different and people were behaving so nice with us , they offered us the most delicious peas , sweet as sugar . So Don’t forget to take your bunch when you visit this place next time .

After visiting all the places in Nako, we started to look for a guest house, and easily we found one. We were lucky enough to had our balcony room . That Balcony just gave us so many beautiful memories!! The hotel owner gave us an iron tub for the bonfire and then what we just drank , danced , ate and enjoyed the every bit of It .

Nako – Tabo :

So next day we woke up early as it was so usual practice during this trip , Nako to Tabo is around another 2-2.5 hours and through the lovely valley with the Spiti river gorging through with huge flow, we just kept moving ahead.

Again the view was fantastic and we enjoyed the adventure, drive ,air, peace and what not . We just loved this journey completely. See the enclosed and you can guess the level of our excitement.

Here is the another one

Moving this way, we reached to Tabo, by around 5:30PM. Oh my God!! What a beautiful village it is. I was just too excited to visit this so we found a guest house, and we checked in quickly and put the luggage in the room. Without a small delay, we just rushed out of the room to have a view of the village.

The Tabo monastery considered to be one of the oldest and most important, was close and was to be opened next morning. So we decided to walk through the village.

We were just roaming around and we saw Far off in a mountain something is written in big big letters of some other language, after talking to Local people there got to know these are Tibetan letters, the name of the village Tabo. Oh it’s just awesome.

It was freezing there, but still the entire evening and during late night, we ended up roaming, gossiping with each other There were so many foreigners around our hotel .And because our hotel was having a small café , they all were there till late in the night , so we just sat together with born fire , Guitar , Books and other musical instruments in café and enjoyed talked , danced , had delicious warm food .

Finally It was time for some sound sleep and way to go ahead the next day, so we three returned to our room and slept with so many plans in eyes for the next day.

The next day we got up early in the morning, Because morning time is very beautiful in Himachal we did not want to slip on that so immediately after waking up we left to explore some more places but within one hour we came back took bath , got ready and had a lovely and heavy breakfast from the hotel.

Our first target was to visit Tabo Monastery, So till the time the monastery temples were open, we saw the entire monastery.

Tabo Monastery is the oldest and the best monasteries in the entire spiti valley, It is huge with around 9 small temples and in a huge area. It was established more than 1000 years back.

Went back to the monastery, One of an old Monk helped us showed us all the 9 temples. Photography was not allowed inside. He showed us the different prayer halls, the different avatars of The Buddha, and also the next avatar of Buddha. Inside the temples it’s really dark. He showed us the different Buddhist gods and calligraphy of gods fighting the daemons in the walls.

We went to every inch of the Monastery and Shruti was just gone mad with the Holy gongs , running every time behind those gongs :

We went to few more places in the village, before around 10:00 AM it was time to leave for the next destination.

Tabo- Kaza

Our next destination was Kaza. Kaza is on height of 12000 ft.. Our Plan was to cover Kibber, Key Monastery the lovely town of Kaza. As we move towards, Kaza, the road becomes more beautiful, the valley becomes more adventurous and beautiful and we reach up more height. So we were stopping and capturing the selfies and pictures.

Normally it is not recommended to go at such heights if you have breathing problem or heart problem.

So around 11 O’clock we reached Kaza. Kaza is a lovely small city in the Spiti valley we checked in into a beautiful hotel, located at a nice location right beside the Kaza monastery. The Kaza Monastery was so beautiful and colorful. We almost spend 2 hours there. As we entered we hear a strange amazing sound coming right from the Monastery. These were monks who were praying and playing music trough their traditional instruments. Unfortunately I have missed the video clip of this moment but here Is a beautiful picture of the Monastery.

The view in front of the monastery was nowhere less than breathtaking. So Anu & Shruti started to pose and I became the photographer.

As we were visiting the places nearby we saw a very beautiful and cute old lady, she was saying something to us but we didn’t understand the local language so we ended up clicking one picture:

We continued to visit the several places, right beside the monastery there were seven holy gongs were in a line which was looking fantastic and I did not let this chance to go and clicked another snap of the journey, you can see the background , how clouds were playing hide & seek with us .

You can see the stones near gongs , it was not usual ,There was something holy in Tibetan language was written on those stones take a clear look here :

Time was stretching, as we had to cover Kibber also the same day. We started for Kibber around 14 KM from Kaza but because of height, it takes time to reach.

The plan was to cover Kibber and then Key Monastery (which is around 7 KM from Kaza). Key monastery was on way and sideways, so accordingly Ballu Bhaiya took us first to Kibber, while coming back we were to visit Key monastery.

Kaza to Kibber and Keylong Monastery and Kaza return :

On our way from Kaza to Kibber , we found some snow near the road and after seeing those the monkeys inside us again woke up and we enjoyed there for 30 minutes with snow ,some of the moments are captured by Ballu Bhaiya.

We reached Kibber, as we touched the milestone we realized it’s a trip of lifetime, we hugged each other opened our beer bottles and made a toast for this wonderful journey, as this was our highest destination and no other place can be better for this celebration.

Kibber is almost at a height of around 14500 ft and a very beautiful village. I was surprised to see that how these small villages are fully developed. They have schools, developed houses, govt. offices even internet cafes also.

The overall view of Kibber was awesome.

We had our lunch here in a local café, which Shruti did not like much and anyone can guess this by watching this picture. She ordered thungpa :P !!

So after relaxing we started our journey again and our next destination was Key Monastery which is on way back to Kaza, but situated on slightly different direction. Situated at a height of around 13500 ft., Key Monastery is the largest monastery at such a hill top and is a tourist’s paradise.

The route to these monasteries are on the edges and quite dangerous. But it didn’t make much difference on us as we were too excited as The Key monastery at such a height provides another gorgeous view of the Spiti River. Apart from that, it is the biggest monastery at a hill top, and beautiful inside.

The monastery was looking like a king’s crown from far:

And as we entered the main gate of the Key Gompa , I literally goose bumps with the serenity of that place:

We spend some good time here with the monks here, they offered us a special kind of tea , but after watching this snap everyone was teasing s we had shorts of Rum:

We captured some more pictures here with the monks and the beauty of this place.

The entire coverage of Key monastery was done by around 6.00 PM and we were back on cab for Kaza. We moved back to our hotel room, where we celebrated completion of this trip. We have opened our special Chardeni which we bought for the moment, enjoyed and took a promise that every year we’ll plan something like this trip and will steel our escape from the routine things .Next day our journey was next day’s journey for Manali via Rohtang Pass and from Manali to Delhi back. And like this we have finished our trip on a good note.

And now after 2 years of this trip still we see pictures and got that feeling back. And I highly recommend all the girls and boys out there to just go and enjoy the breathtaking beauty and adventure of The Himalayas.

It’s worth going once in entire life. So go and write me all your stories , make them interesting by let yourself free and never forget to share these delights with me

Waiting for all the stories. Thanks & Regards Richa Gujaria

History and #Heritage! In the #history of Indian hotel industry, the #story of Clarkes really begins in the 1920s when Mr. Ernest Clarke arrived as Manager of the Cecil, as Clarkes was known in those days. Both Mr. #Clarke and his wife Gertrude had a keen eye for #observation. They took a great liking to the #honesty of a hardworking, young gentleman named Mr. Mohan Singh Oberoi, who was working at the Cecil that time. Wanting to take a break from their busy schedule, Mr. Clarke and his wife decided to hand over the responsibility of managing Hotel Carlton - now renamed as Clarkes to this impressive young man. During their six months absence, Mr. Mohan Singh Oberoi doubled up the occupancy to eighty percent which gave them enough reason to offer the hotel - on a decided amount to Mr. Mohan Singh Oberoi as they wanted to return to #England. After continuous hard work for five years, on 14th August, 1934, Rai Bahadur Mohan Singh #Oberoi became the sole and absolute owner of #Hotel Carlton, #Shimla. He subsequently named it after Mr. Ernest Clarke. Rai Bahadur M. S. Oberoi could not have hoped for a better thirty fourth birthday present. ❄ 📷 @tanzy_changyang #shimlalife (at Oberoi's - Clarkes Hotel)
