  Shimla Trip Vlog – Hill Station Diaries from the Queen of Hills Hello friends! Today, I'm taking you along on a journey that wasn’t just a trip for me, but a treasure chest of memories – to the beautiful hill station of Shimla ! 🚗 Day 1 – The Journey Begins We left from Delhi early in the morning, with hot tea and bun maska in hand.
