"I am an orophile and I have been dying to see the scenic beauty of Himachal, and there was no better time than now. It was a 12-day trip, to begin with, but then I extended it after the lockdown in Maharashtra, and thought of visiting the rest of Himachal as well," he said. 

"There is not much crowd here and I am taking proper precautions. I am more careful than usual. I am not just wearing masks and carrying sanitiser but wearing full sleeve clothes too, yes, it's because of the weather too. Sitting at home, listening to the rising number of COVID cases, I just wanted to go out and relax, and believe me I couldn't have asked for more. This is truly the most de-stressing and releasing time I have spent in the last year," Shashank added.
