Entering Tinchuley :-
This place is the most romantic place I have ever been to. The mist clouds
This place is the most romantic place I have ever been to. The mist clouds
covered the place to hide the lovers from the world. The oldest hotel in the
locality was full but the location of that hotel was strategic. After getting a hotel
at Tinchely I would park the car and walk along the roads into the clouds. The
owner of our hotel took us to the village walk and next two hours the walk
between the clouds is a heavenly experience.
