Precautions to take before travelling to a Hill Station

In this article, I am going to share some of the precautions which one should take before going to a hill station. These precautions are very important for people going first time to a hill station. We go to a hill station for enjoyment; however, with a small mistake our whole journey can got spoiled. Hill stations are very good place to visit; however, sudden changes in weather can create problems for us. Also with increase in height amount of oxygen in air also decreases. Below are few points which are helpful in managing a good journey to hill station.
1) First and important thing is staying arrangement. It is always better to go to a hill station with pre booked accommodations. It is possible that on the same day many people may reach at that specific location and causes a problem in getting good accommodation. It is better to go for advance booking.
2) Second thing is to have all necessary medical tests done if your age is more than 45 or have some kind of serious illness.
3) Took all of your medicines with you because the chances of non availability of some of the medicines on hill station are high. Took some extra quantity of medicine because many times road to hill stations gets blocked suddenly.

4) Never forget to take the woollen cloths with you. Temperature may decrease sharply anytime on the hill stations.

5) Avoid night travelling on the hill routes. Due to lot of turns and fog it can become difficult to travel.

6) Must take an umbrella with you because sudden rain is common on hill stations.

7) In the place of leather shoe and sandals, take your sports shoes because they provide good grip on the ground.

Beautiful Mahakaleshwar Pandoi Devta ji Temple at Pandoa (Shimla)

 You are aware of my road trip on the stretch Nalagrah-Ramshehr-Arki-Basantpur-Luhri -ANNI. When from Basantpur-Tatapani Road, we take a right turn on MDR 22 towards Luhri and Rampur then we follow the Satluj river continuously and get a chance to see communities living near Satluj river and in this valley. We also get a chance to see their culture and beliefs. Today, I am going to talk about the Pandoi Devta temple situated just a few meters away from this road at Pandoa village. Himachal Pradesh can be known as a place of thousands of deities; therefore, we say it the land of Gods. This temple is not visible from the road and you need to take an unpaved road that is 300 meters long to reach this temple. Pandoi Devta temple is a set of one main temple and two Kothis.  At this place, we can find the same style of Shivlinga as we find at the Ujjain; therefore, this place is also known as Mahakaleshwar Pandoi Devta ji Shahib. It is believed that this Shivlinga was created by Pan...

About Mandi City (Himachal Pradesh)

We always have numbers of memories associated with the town or place where we are born; similarly, I have many memories associated with my birthplace i.e. Mandi city of Himachal Pradesh. Old name of Mandi is Mandav Nagar and it is also known as Sahor. Mandi is a city situated on the bank of river the Beas and it is surrounded from all sides by the hills. Mandi is also known as the Kashi (a famous temple town of India situated in Varanasi (UP)) of Himachal Pradesh. There are around 81 historical temples in Mandi which represent many Shiva forms.  Mandi has hundreds of new and old temples which include many renowned old stone temples constructed by Pandvas.
