My Summer Vacation: Reading Comprehension for Class 6

This summer, Rohan and his parents travelled from Mumbai to Shimla for a week’s holiday. It was his first time seeing the hills. As the car climbed the winding roads, he spotted pine trees, monkeys, and waterfalls. The air felt cool and crisp. They stayed in a small cottage with a view of the valley. Every morning, Rohan woke up early to watch clouds drift between mountains. He wrote in his diary about the birds he saw and the friendly shopkeepers who sold handmade toys. One afternoon, they went horse riding on a trail surrounded by tall deodar trees. His mother took pictures while his father bought fresh strawberries from a roadside stall. Rohan learned how people in hill towns use woollen clothes, wooden houses, and solar water heaters to stay warm in winter. In the evening, they visited Mall Road for momos and hot chocolate. A street musician played the flute, and the sound echoed through the quiet hills. On their last evening, Rohan and his parents watched the sunset from a viewpoint. The sky turned pink, and the lights of the valley twinkled below like stars. Before leaving, Rohan posted postcards to his grandparents describing the trip. On the journey home, he felt thankful for the fresh air and peaceful hills. He promised himself that he would return someday and bring his friends along to show them the beauty of nature. He also decided to plant trees back in Mumbai so his city could stay green and cool. The vacation gave him both fun and a new love for nature.
