Answer:

Visit from Delhi to Shimla.

Starting from Delhi, the landscape is plain with lots of buildings, roads, and busy streets. As I leave Delhi and head towards places like Haryana, I see open fields and farmland as the Plain of Yamuna River has fertile soil. As I get closer to the foothills of the Himalayas, I see small hills and valleys, and the roads start to wind up and down. When I get even closer to Shimla, the landscape changes to beautiful mountains. I see tall, green hills and some snow-capped peaks.
