"Himachal Pradesh what a beautiful part of India..."
7 members from the IBM CSC India 22 team & myself spent the weekend in
Shimla.

The weather was nice and we had the chance to visit most of the places which connects the
Shimla Heritage Walk on Saturday.
We started our walk with the
Jakhoo Temple, which is the main temple of the Hindu God
Hanuman. The temple is at the top of the Jakhoo mountain 2.455m above see level.

As you can see from the pictures that place - Shimla itself as well - is a favourite place for the monkeys. To share with you my experience some of them are friendly, but some of them can be very aggressive as well (of course they are hungry and they are searching for any moment if they can get/steel some snack "from the tourists")
We continued our trip in Shimla and some of us stopped for a street food at the local Lakkar Bazar. Have a look at the "Indian carrots sculpture" as well the red-white-green dips of course it reminded me for my Hungarian national flag.

In Shimla center we found lot of nice places which
British
colonial architecture beauty goes back to the neo- Gothic structure as well.
Main example is the Christ Church, the neo Tudor library building and the Gaiety Theatre building.

For Sunday we decided to take the
Kalka Shimla railway from Shimla to
Solan (this took "only" 3 hrs) and which is known by it's breathtaking views of the Himalaya's and surrounding villages.
