If you plan to visit the hills this summer : Check this out too !!!

Let’s take a break from the boring stuff :-)

Col Vinod Awasthy, VSM, sends this in.

He runs a family vacation home in Shimla hills by the name of VEERGARH.

The place has independent suites and separate bedrooms and Col Awasthy offers a discount of 40% to service officers (on production of I-Card) on the already reasonable tariffs. You may like to visit the website www.veergarh.com

One request to Col Awasthy. He may like to examine the feasibility of including retired officers and their families under the 40% discount scheme.

And by the way, if you are driving down to Shimla, don’t forget to take a lunch break at the dhaba ‘Shan-e-Himachal’ at Dharampur - also run by a Colonel’s son.

Information on special discounts for faujis and their families is welcome.

    The dicount that we are offering is to all serving as well as the retired officers across the board.

    Hope to hear from you soon.
