ESSAY ON HOW I SPENT MY SUMMER VACATION IN HILL STATION – 
ESSAY 4 (500 WORDS)
Introduction
Summer season is mainly known for its heat waves and holidays that we students get 
because of that. It’s a great time for students to go for a stress relieving trip and to be closer 
to nature for which they don’t get time during their hectic schedule throughout the year.
We Decided to Go to a Hill Station
Our family decided to go for a summer trip and that too to a hill station this year. There are 
many beautiful places in India known for their scenic beauty such as Mussoorie, Ooty, 
Wilson Hills, Kufri, Nainital, Manali, Kerala and Rishikesh to name a few. After a long 
discussion about which hill station to go for, we finally settled for Shimla.
Our Trip to Shimla
We all went there via road in our car and reached there in the morning. Then, we directly 
went to the hotel that we had already booked. Shimla has got everything to lure the tourists 
from lavish hotels to picturesque locations and from mall road to shopping streets full of 
people coming from different cultures. We had planned the trip for 5 days. So in the evening 
of our first day of trip we went to the mall road and Jhaku hills which are known as the main 
tourist spots in the city. In the evening, there are many different activities going on there. It 
was amazing to witness the night life of Shimla. We visited the Footloose Discotheque 
which was full of vibrant people and buzzed with great music.
Our next day included travelling through the toy train. This toy train here runs from Kalka to 
Shimla. There are only 3 such trains in our country and one of them is here. It’s an amusing 
experience to travel through them irrespective of the fact that they are really slow. The 
evening time was spent doing some snow adventures such as skiing and bungee jumping.

The next days were spent visiting places near Shimla such as Chail, Kufri and Chitkul. These 
places can be visited for some snow adventure besides enjoying their beautiful scenic beauty. 
Shimla is also a good treat for foodies like me. A bizarre thing about Shimla’s food is – 
either there are really tiny diners or cafes offering just fast food, variety of teas and cold 
drinks or fancy eateries that have over priced alcohol in the menus – there is no ground in 
between. We had salami burgers at Beekays, which were delicious.
During all these days filled with loads of activities to do, we used to get really tired in the 
evening, but the night life of there or just staring at the starry sky used to give us immense 
sense of joy and fill us with new energy. There is an enchanting music from tall trees 
standing upright there, curvy roads that makes one look at those beautiful hills from all the 
angles and that lively breeze that fills one’s soul and heart with ecstasy.
Conclusion
We came back to Delhi after spending five fun-filled days in Shimla. The memory of this 
trip is fresh in my head. Shimla is indeed the queen of hill stations. I would love to visit the 
place again.
