This comes in the way when you come from shimla to kalka or vice versa by road. You can reach here by trecking or by road through public or own transport. A 2.5 kilometer road is quite steep if you are not habitual to hill driving then dont drive. A beutiful senery all round and holy place gives you relif... More
