Describe a time you visited a new place: IELTS Speaking Cue Card

Recently I have visited a temple in Tirumala which is Lord Venkateshwara temple which is a very old ancient temple from 2000 years ago. It is a very nice temple. It will be the presence of Lord Venkateshwara Swami. I had a few hours to take darshan from Venkateshwara Swami. It is a very nice and blue climate. It is located in Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, India. It is a hilly place. It takes about 21 km to climb that hill.

So, I have been travelling since I was a child with my father. My father visited a lot of places because of his work. So with him I have travelled a lot of places luckily. But I would like to highlight one place that I travelled when I was very young. The place is called Nainital. It's a really beautiful hill station in the mountains of Himalayas. So I was very young as I said, I was only 11 years old. And I went to that place by a train. So it is also one of the train rides that I liked the most because I was really young at that time. And I liked sitting, I remember that I liked sitting near the window and watched the places as the train passed by. So when we reached Nainital, the hills were beautiful. And Nainital, since it's a hill station, it had a really pleasant weather. It was cold in summer which is unusual for me because I live in a place where summers are very hot compared to Nainital. So I actually liked Nainital a lot. There are a lot of beautiful places in Nainital to spend your time. Places such as Jim Corbett National Park. It is a park where I was a child, I didn't know much about it. That there are national parks in which it's not like a zoo, the animals are not within a cage. So it was a very unique experience for me at that point of time. There's also a very beautiful lake in Nainital which is known as Nanojheel. It goes after the name of the town. It's a very huge and a very deep lake, middle of the town. So I remember putting my hands inside the water while I was boat riding in that lake.

So, in my nation India it is a diverse country there are number of a beautiful places to visit although I visited ample place throughout my life but here I would like to talk about a one particular place and a time when I visited this place it's a Varanasi which is located in the Uttar Pradesh it is a one of the most renowned and the famous spiritual place and I went there it happened like a one year ago I visited this Varanasi with my family members as it was the vacation from my work so I just found to go early we just book a flight ticket and it was like about a 5 day journey I visited this place because it has a spiritual connection and it has a number of well famous historical places and monuments moreover there are number of Ghats and ancient Ghats which were present we called it like 80 Ghats were there and on the evening we are taking the Ganga Aarti while sitting on the boat we enjoyed the boat ride moreover we enjoy that beautiful view because of the mesmerizing sunset which we saw on the our boat journey during the evening time what's more beautiful was that it also give a peace and a positive vibes while roaming there so the experience was really electrifying experience and I felt extremely happy while going there and getting close to the nature with my own God or with own person

I recently visited Manali. I went there last month to experience the snowfall and to witness the mesmerizing view that Manali has to offer. I always wanted to go there. Last year I heard my friends talking about Manali and ever since hearing the experience about this wonderful place I was eager to go there and watch it. I went via train from Mumbai to Delhi and towards Manali. Then we took a cab till our stay. It was a 7 day trip. First day we went to the local market. We had different variety of foods. We had the local food. We got to know about the heritage and the culture and different sorts of local foods. Then on the second day we went to see the Solang valley which is famous for its beautiful views and mountains.

I have been to three different places in Himachal Pradesh. I have been to Dhammashala, Birbilling and Mekuldaganj. Mekuldaganj stands for its beauty scenic high range of waterfalls surrounded by the bunch of mountains and I have also been there during the end of winter season during March 2023. I always wanted to travel to mountains and enjoy the scenic views because I am a person who comes from a beach place so I have never been to mountains and I loved being surrounded by mountains and my stay in Himachal Pradesh was amazing because we also got to experience the rain session and we also enjoy the night markets in Himachal and we also been to their famous Buddha temple which is also a place to have peace and we also been to their cultural heritage where we could experience the Himachal traditions and their clothes and the different types of foods.
