The St. Mary’s Church is located right next to the Mission School. Samuel Evans Stokes got married to Agnes Benjamin at this Church, which was built with the help of donations from both Christians and Hindus.

    A few more pics of the bus route road approaching the K bus stop from Narkanda and pics of the small shopping area where the bus stops will make the picture story complete. Environmentalists and Nature lovers will mark it 10 on 10 while they award just 3 maybe 4 to similar pics of Simla.
    Excellent post even without the desired pics.
