Destination introduction
Shimla is a popular hill station renowned for its great climate and breathtaking scenery. It became the summer capital of the British government in India, and it still maintains its original colonial charm. The Mall is the main hub of activity with many restaurants, bars and boutiques and locals and a stroll from The Mall’s highest point, Scandal Pint, to Combermere Bridge is a fantastic walk. With mock Tudor style buildings, a Gothic Church and many remnants of the Raj, Shimla is a beautiful destination to explore.
