Himachal : Shimla Kufri and Chail

After a day long journey on the road you reach the capital . But the journey has been as much enchanting : across water filled dams , below clouds crisscrossed by multiple rainbows and the little hill towns and villages, not to forget the landscaping of the himachals.
At times you see heritage buildings of Maharajahs and of British. You stop at one of them at Chail : The Chail Palace . An exquisitely designed palace which has a wonderful bar : good wines , low charges and in a wonderfully served ambience.
Shimla is the place where british presence was maximum and this is pretty much evident as you walk along the MALL road. You notice victorian architechture including the one that experienced the meeting which partitioned India at the Shimla Conference. Local crafts can be bought at many shops as you explore the market . Clothing made from Yak wool is one of the prime sellers.
