Dear Chris,

I have a plethora of destinations in my mind to recommend to you. As I have visited most of the destinations in our country. One of the places which is close to my heart is Shimla in Himachal Pradesh.

I visited there a couple of times. Also, these are some of the best months to visit there. You will find a lot of tourists over there. There is a place named Kufri over there, where people go ice skating. There you will also find Donkey as well as Horse riding. It’s a must-visit place. There’s one famous temple over there, and the views from the temple are just breathtaking.

I stayed at JW Marriot Hotel which is one of the most luxurious stays in Shimla. There’s a pool in the hotel from where the sunrise as well sunset are amazing to see.

You can plan your trip for a couple of days and try some local street food. Momos are a must-try as it is an authentic dish. If you need any assistance, the locals are really helpful else I am just a call away.

love,

John.
