HOW TO REACH RENUKA JI
Their are two ways to reach Renuka Ji from delhi.
> Via NH1 "delhi - karnal-kurukshetra-renukaji"
> Via "delhi-dehradun-paonta-renukaji"
we chose dehradun because i had so many local friends there and it is a good route but you can pick any of them.

Shimla was established in the year 1817 as the British Summer Capital in old time. The hill station was favoured by the British due to its cooler climate to the humid plains of North India. A lot of tourists from Nagpur comes here.
