A betterlife with Steem - The diary game | Chandigarh and Shimla Trip | 18th January
------------------------------------Trip to Chandigarh and Shimla--------------------------
Recently I visited Chandigarh and Shimla with friends and to be very honest it was such a nice journey and Holiday.
So I booked the ticket from makemytrip.com on 4th January and the journey date was 8th January, the ticket cost was around 10,000 INR for both side journey.
On 8th January my flight was at 10:00 AM the morning so I woke up at 6:00 AM and then started getting ready to leave for the Airport.
I book Uber at around 7:15 AM and it arrived at my Home around 7:30 AM, I did my packing last night only, kept warm clothes as it's cold in the North of India.
I reached the Airport at 9:00 AM, as you know the Bangalore Airport is 55 KM's from the main city so it takes to get there.
I did the security check-in, had a cup of coffee, and then the Boarding started, as you already know during the Pandemic everyone takes precautions and even in flight you have to wear a mask and face shield throughout the Journey and to be very honest it's very suffocating for me at least.
I reached Chandigarh at around 3:00 PM as I had a connecting flight from Bangalore to Chandigarh. So the route was Bangalore-Jaipur-Chandigarh.
As soon as I reached the Chandigarh Airport my friends were waiting to receive me at the airport from there we went to eat something, we went to a nearby Mall and had chicken from KFC.
After finishing the meal, we went directly to my friend's place, after resting for a while we went to have some drinks and to enjoy the evening. To be very honest it was freezing out there, but after 3 pecks I barely could feel any cold :P
We were there at the Dhaba for around 12 midnight and later we came to one of our friend's places and spent the rest of the night chit-chatting with each other.
The next day morning we decided to go to Shimla by Car, we did our packing and spending the afternoon roaming here and there we started for Shimla at 7 in the evening, we were 9 in total and we had two cars.
The road journey was really amazing and we enjoyed it a lot, it took almost 4 hours to reach our homestay. after changing our clothes and refreshing a little we sat to have some live music and to drink.
One of our friends was carrying the guitar and he really played it well, we sang a couple of songs, enjoyed the rum and at around 5 in the morning went to sleep.
Woke up at 9 AM, the head was banging as we could not complete our sleep, we started for Kufri where we thought we will see ICE. Driving for around an hour and a half we reached Kufri Hilltop but sadly we could not see the ice as there was none.
We then planned to go to the Mall road which is one of the famous tourist spots in Shimla. For your information, one of the scenes in the Movie 3 Idiots was shot there. There we took a couple of pictures and stood for around 2 hours, had our lunch, and then started back for Chandigarh.
We reached around 10 PM and were completely drained out, we ordered food, had our food, and went to bed.
The next morning, we thought of going out and chill inside the city, we went to one of the Mall where we played games and had coffee from Starbucks.
My return flight was on the same day at 7 PM in the evening, at around 5 Pm we came back home did my packing and left for the Airport.
Just to inform you these friends with whom I enjoyed the wonderful trip our my Gaming Friend, I know them only through Counter-Strike Game but now I know them for a long time almost 8 years now.
