Oe e————E—E——_—_— OT II OEE OO ere rr ————— (Outstanding Students) “There is Pleasure in the pathless woods, There is rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes I love not man the less. but nature more.” it is in human nature to look forward to moments of joy and pleasure. So man started to create places of recreation. He settles for nothing but the best. After ages of search, he came to the conclusion that there is no better creator than God.

This road was thronged with the pedestrians. People wearing warm clothes seemed to be enjoying the lovely weather. The high mountains behind the hotels were presenting the marvellous view. We had the chance to look and observe various artefacts and handicrafts. We bought some handicrafts and Zz
