In the end, that day came when I had to leave for Shimla. I had to catch the bus from ISBT Delhi in the night at 10:30pm. When I visited there found my bus was ready to leave. I was super excited for this trip because this was my first trip. In the night when we left from Delhi, I could sleep only till Chandigarh. As soon as we entered Himachal Pradesh, everyone woke up because the driver was driving very fast. All trench were very deep and our bus was moving very fast. After that nobody found sleep because all were scared. Everything was completely planned in this journey but when I reached to Shimla, I came to know that my plan was failed.
Finally the day(23.12.2k17) comes and we reached to Shimla. There are lots of buses from ISBT SHiMLA to Old Bus Stand but I thought It will be better to walk. Owh my God! In shimla 1km= 2km. I started my trip from Shimla Kali Bari temple. Here are the spots where I visited in that trip.
On Saturday I went to the first 7 places and on the rest in the Sunday. The best thing for me was that I had my 360 supporting phone. I took almost 30 panoramas in Shimla and became a Trusted Photographer. When I was sitting on the old bus stand, I did not want to go anywhere, because the weather was very good but I've to move. Finally after 1 hr I started my journey in Shimla. I know I'm not a good photographer as per photos shared by me on map during this trip, but I'll learn more from the @PaulPavlinovich's next worldwide meetup. At home I was thinking I'll explore Shimla city in a day but after visiting there everything changed. All the paths were very high & down. I was quite tired up to the Kali Bari temple but I was moving forward with the thinking that I am a local guide. After about 30 minutes in the Kali Bari temple, I had to leave for Mall road. About 20 minutes I reached there for which I went to Shimla (The mall road). I was super excited about this road and all the famous things on it. After taking rest in front of City point I reached to my 2nd spot(Scandal point). It was the second most crowded place in Shimla after The Ridge. On the scandal point I stopped for 20 minutes and after that I was on the ridge. More than this, I do not see crowd anywhere in Shimla. I was very hungry so I ate a bit and after Christ Church I went straight to the Jakhu temple. I was very happy to come here. I stayed here for a long time and after that I called in my hotel and asked where do I get the bus to hotel? So I came to know that I can get bus from Auckland bus stand. Then I reached the hotel and started planning next day. The next day I had to go to one place only, but when I went there I was very sad to hear that this is not a tourist place(it was in my trip list as per info available on web). Suddenly I saw everyone are going to the picnic spot. I enjoyed a lot in picnic spot. Suddenly my mom call me when I was returning to home and ask about me. On 25th Dec I returned home from a very beautiful trip.
Here are some pics from trip.
Thank you so much for reading.

This is why people say 'time matters'. This time was for you to be in Shimla @deepakjhic. I expect much more from you there.
I have visited Shimala in the movie 'three idiots'. Was beautifully captured in the camera lens.

That trip sounds like it was quite an experience @deepakjhic I enjoyed your photos. Shimla is colourful and very clean. Glad to see your hotel looked nice too. Bus drivers can be scary, on an interstate trip once I woke up with a start and realised the bus had strayed right off the road and was driving in the grass. The driver was falling asleep.
