Shimla

About Shimla

Shimla, the capital of Himachal Pradesh, was the former summer capital of British India, and its colonial legacy is still palpable in its charming architecture. Set amidst pine-clad hills, the city is known for its pedestrian-friendly Mall Road, lined with shops and cafes, and the historic Ridge, which offers panoramic views of the Himalayas. Key attractions include the Viceregal Lodge, an impressive example of Jacobethan architecture, and the Christ Church. The Kalka-Shimla Railway, a UNESCO World Heritage toy train, offers a scenic and nostalgic journey to the city.
