Most S#itiest people in Himachal
Oct 24, 2023 07:17 PM239 Views (via Mobile)

I am from Himachal and here's my honest review.


I've travelled and lived in every single part of Himachal. And let me tell you, you'll find the most "non friendly" and the most S#it people I've met in my entire life.


Not to mention the taxi drivers here are the most rude people you'll ever meet on your entire life.


The "local" people here will first look at your car number and then they will decide the tone they'll talk with you.


I've never behaved with anyone like a "localite" but I dare you HP 39 or HP Dharamshala taxi. I'll be on my shittiest behaviour with you guys from now on. GAME ON.

I love this place being a resident of this place.  Last week I visited Kangra Temple and Kangra city.  Weather was cool and pleasent due to sudden heavy rain fall.  I also visited Brajeshwari Temple and lot of pilgrims were also there.  Only problem I found there the illegal encroachment by the shopkeepers in temple due to which the passage was too narrow for pilgrims.


I also feel some traffic issues in near temple.  This place is connected with rail and road. There is many sightseeking places like kangra fort etc.
