Description

Shimla is a popular hill station located in the northern Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. It was once the summer capital of British India and is now a popular tourist destination known for its colonial architecture, scenic beauty, and adventure activities. The town is situated at an altitude of 2200 meters above sea level and is surrounded by lush green forests, snow-capped mountains, and meandering rivers.

Old-timers say that once Shimla gets in your blood, it never leaves. It calls you back time after time and at every moment, the town is capable of showing fresh nuance to its rich and varied character. As the former ‘summer capital’ of British India, Shimla has a rare range of built heritage and is surrounded by thick forests of pine, Himalayan oak, flowering Rhododendron, and tall cedars-the ‘almost-legendary’ deodar trees. This magnificent setting and picture of an idyllic retreat in the mid-ranges of the Himalayan mountains are framed by high peaks that trace a snow-clad line across the north.
