Shimla



Shimla is a captivating hill station and also the capital city of the state of Himachal Pradesh. It is also lovingly referred to as the “Queen of the Hill Stations” owing to its unparalleled natural beauty. The entire town of Shimla is replete with forests of pine, rhododendron, and oak and experiences pleasing summers and cold, snowy winters. Besides, it is also highly acclaimed for its buildings styled in tudorbethan and neo-gothic architecture evocative of the colonial era. It was the most sought-after summer getaways and the summer capital of the erstwhile British Raj in India as well.
