Planning to go on a beautiful chilled vacation? Be it summers or be it winters, hill stations are always the all time hit destinations to chill out any vacation. Shimla is one such destination. And if you are planning for Shimla then Kufri is something that you cannot afford to miss. Kufri, a small hill station is full of greeneries and fresh air and is really an amazing place - a real beauty worth exploring.
Recently we got an opportunity to visit #Himachal Pradesh, and we made it to #Shimla and #Kufri. It was a 3 days trip where we stayed at Shimla and from there we visited all places including the beautiful Kufri. Here in this below linked video I have shared my travel experience of the beautiful Kufri as in summers. It was the month of May, end of May in 2019. Yet it was not that hot, it was cold there in Kufri as well as in Shimla.
On way to Kufri, when you are driving from Shimla to Kufri by road, you will find the beautiful Green Velleys #greenvalley that is full of lush green mountain ranges with contrasting colors and shades. That is a beautiful photoshoot point where travellers like us park and have a shoot while enjoying the freshness of shady mountains. The silence, the peace, the calmness and the beauty, it will all steal your hearts.
Best Places to Visit in Kufri:
- Green Valley
- Apple Garden
- Adventure Island
- Naag Temple
and more..
Different sorts of adventure sports you will find here in Kufri, where paragliding was one of my favorites. Apart from the activities, you can also get a beautiful view of the apple garden there in Kufri. When we went to the apple garden in May-June 2019, then we could not see any apples there on the trees but we were able to see some very cute little tiny pieces of them, the baby apples hanging on every apple plant there. July to November were the suggested time for apple there, as told by the local people. We did horse riding there in Kufri, and also saw the amazing potato farming of Himachal. It was all a real beauty.
Apart from Kufri we also went to the famous Jakhoo temple of Shimla, located on the Jakhoo hills, Shimla, Himachal Pradesh. It was a Hanuman temple located on the heights of the hill top. We hired a local Shimla tourism taxi from The Ridge for Jakhoo temple and Kufri. Otherwise there are options for ropeways as well if you only wish to go to the holy Jakhoo temple. The temple is famous because of its holy and heavenly history from the past when Lord Hanuman was on his way to get the Sanjeevani Booti, then he stepped at this hill may be for rest. His footsteps has been preserved here in this temple and worshipped for years. There we can find a big Hanuman statue standing right in front of the temple, and is visible from far off places in Shimla too.
Apple garden, green valley, Jakhoo temple, The Ridge, Mall road, Kufri hills, Himachal, adventure sports, horse riding, and many more such beautiful things are waiting here at Shimla and Kufri. #himachaltourism
