At about 1-45 pm I started by bus for NARKANDA. I was going through the Hindustan –Tibet road. It was only 68 km from Shimla. The entire route is going zigzag like snake. . Narkanda is situated at altitude of 8,100 feet and road going to Narkanda is almost at the top of the mountain by gradually climbing upward. One can enjoy alongside the view of the different valleys as the road twists and turns from one spur to another. The view of Narkanda from a small village name FAGU is really worthy seeing.. On the way to Narkanda found some tourist spots like Wild Flower Hall, Kufri, Fagu and at last reached Narkanda at about 18 hrs. in the evening. The place is famous for peak name HATTU. From here one can reach to KINNAR KAILASH, SANGHLA wh...
