Jakhoo Hill
|
For
lovers of solitude, a short climb, early in the morning to the summit of
Jakhoo at a height of 2,438.4 metres and two kilometers east of the town,
towering over Shimla, rewards the climber with the glorious spectacle of
the sun rising over the eternal snows and a panoramic view of Shimla spreadeagled
below. Here, too is an old temple dedicated to the god Hanuman, now also
the home of countless playful monkeys waiting hopefully to be fed by all
the visitors. |
