February 23, 2018 - Mussoorie

Mussoorie is one of the most famous hill stations in Uttarakhand. Also fondly referred to as Queen of the Hills. It is located in the Doon valley, and is easily accessible from Dehradun.

We had to skip Gun Hill ropeway as it was under maintenance. We also didn't get to witness the unique winterline phenomenon.

April 22, 2011 - Home, Akshaya Nagar Just when the heat starts to become intolerable, and you really want some respite the rains come to the rescue. The clouds form striking shapes during the day, and gather by afternoon for a downpour. Summer in Bangalore lasts 3 months (March-May), however it is normal to experience sudden summer showers in the afternoon mid-April onwards. It is nature's way to balance the temperature.
