If you are planning a trip to Shimla. Don't miss this one, situated at top of the hill, it's one of the best places in Himachal Pradesh. It's a temple of Kali maa named after her, kali da tibba or kali mata temple. Been here thrice but each time it seems like a different experience. 360 degree view of hills and you can enjoy breath taking view of sunset as well. Overall, a must visit place if you are going to Shimla.

A British era railway station for the metre gauge trains on the Kalka-Shimla route, complete with a ghost tunnel, station building of colonial architecture, food stalls typical of small places, railway managed refreshment and rest rooms. One needs to treck down a good 20 minutes from the highway if you're not on the train and likewise for leaving it. But it's well worth it. When the train trundles in out of the darkness of the tunnel, the station suddenly loses its calm poise and there's a hurly-burly of activities. A ring (an old tradition), newspapers and other papers are thrown on the platform by the railway staff. You can chat with the station master, guard, driver and official on the train. The stop is long enough for photo opps, before it chugs out.

It takes very steep stairs to reach, so not suggested for elderly people. It is a small and quaint Gurudwara and you will find peace there.

DAGSHAI I was visiting Dharampur, a small town on the way to Shimla when I heard about Dagshai and the old ‘Angrezon ke zamame ki jail’ there (A jail of the British era). So, out I went exploring this not so famous town. I was in for a surprise… it turned out to be one of the oldest cantonment towns, based in the Solan district of Himachal Pradesh. Its route is along a small diversion on the right from the Shimla Kalka highway close to Dharampur, about 11 km from Solan. The town has no hotels, no restaurants, no shopping areas for the tourists. Along with a few daily need shops there’s just one tiny eating joint and a small café outside the Jail and the museum. It’s the only place of interest for a tourist in Dagshai and is currently being used by the Military Engineering Service (MES). It was built in 1849 and is one of the scariest places I have been to. As we enter there are two very small open air compounds which were along the corridor leading to the actual jail hall. The heavy metal door that closes behind u as u enter is ever looming. The first thing that strikes u is that the whole place is absolutely dark. The army officer who showed me around had to use a flashlight. I entered into a large hall, with walls about 30 ft high and with small windows near the roof for the scarce ventilation. The unique feature of the jail was the wooden flooring. It was 2ft above the ground level and hollow within. This was to ensure, that no move by a prisoner goes unheard, to deter them from escaping. The hall had a number of small cells with bars like doors, with another solid metal door after a gap of about a foot, with just a tiny window for ventilation. Each cell held about 3-4 prisoners, and the notorious ones who gave trouble were made to stand between the two doors for hours, ensuring extreme physical discomfort as they could not sit nor move. The road had no population around it and there was just thick vegetation on one side and deep valleys on the other. It was a bit foggy and it drizzled now and then, so I couldn’t get the complete view on my way up. But the feel was just out of the world. Beautifully maintained paths, strategically placed benches to enjoy the scenic views…and yes the touch of the cantonment was very much there. All along the way, there were boards displaying the details of the army men who had sacrificed their lives for the nation and were awardees. But on my way back, as if the God was hearing me, the weather took a turn and the sun came out. And thank God it did, or I would have missed it all. The panoramic view that u get at so many points is to die for. Such immense beauty in abundance, and the range of mountains giving u peace and joy.
