Our Top Hotels
Shimla thrives amidst a lush canvas of Pine, Deodar, Oak, and Rhododendron forests, nestled in the southwestern Himalayan range at an altitude of 2,206 meters. Once the sultry retreat for British India and later East Punjab's capital, this enthralling city is a history-enthusiast's nirvana, adorned with monuments like the Jakhu Temple, Viceregal Lodge, Christ Church and landmarks such as Mall Road, The Ridge, and Annandale.
Shimla, enveloped in the timeless charm of colonial architecture, offers more than historical intrigue. Here, thrill-seekers can participate in the famed MTB Himalaya mountain biking race, while winter sports aficionados can glide over South Asia's largest natural ice skating rink. For the academically inclined, Shimla houses multiple colleges and research institutions. Also, hop on board the Kalka-Shimla Railway line, a UNESCO World Heritage site that connects Shimla to the plains.
When to visit Shimla
The ideal periods to visit this enchanting city are post-monsoon, between October and December, and during the rejuvenating spring months from March to early May. During these periods, the idyllic hills embrace a vibrant palette of colours, and the temperatures dip into a comfortable range, perfect for sightseeing and outdoor pursuits. The traditional first snowfall in December transforms Shimla into a beautiful winter wonderland, albeit the dates have been shifting later with each passing year. While Shimla's allure is year-round, it's prudent to avoid road travel during the monsoon season due to landslides. For a unique Shimla experience, consider a spring visit when the hills burst into life with vibrant hues.
