•  Well, visiting new places in my free time gives me a sense of satisfaction because traveling is one of my favorite hobbies.
• Here, I would like to talk about a place called Kelong that I visited during my last vacation.
• A few months back, I was free due to my ongoing holidays.
• I decided to visit any hill station with my family in order to spend some quality time there.
• The reason for visiting this place is that my best friend Mike visited there and shared some photos and videos with me, which made me fascinated.
• So, we chose to go to Kelong, as none of us visited there before.
• This place is around 300 km from my city, so we went there by car.
• I have to say, our journey was quite adventurous, as we stopped at multiple locations to capture beautiful photos and to enjoy food and drinks.
• On the way to our destination, we took photos of snowclad mountains, waterfalls and lush green valleys.
• We reached there on time, so we easily found a room with a wonderful balcony view.
• We took some rest for a couple of hours and then we did some sightseeing.
• We spent two days there and during the whole period, we visited local temples and historical sites and tasted local cuisines.
• Besides, I got the opportunity to talk to some local people, which helped me acquire some information about their culture.
• So, this was the place where I visited during my last vacation.
