About Shimla

Shimla, the capital of Himachal Pradesh, is the Queen of Hills — a charming colonial-era hill station at 2,276 metres. The Chandigarh to Shimla cab journey of about 120 km winds through the Shivalik range with dramatic valley views. Once the summer capital of British India, Shimla retains its heritage architecture, pedestrian Mall Road, and cool climate that makes it a favourite year-round escape from the plains.

What Shimla Is Famous For

  • Colonial heritage — Viceregal Lodge, Gaiety Theatre, Christ Church
  • The Ridge and Mall Road — pedestrian shopping and dining strip
  • Cool climate and panoramic Himalayan views
  • Toy train on the Kalka–Shimla UNESCO World Heritage railway
  • Nearby Kufri for snow activities and horse rides
