Shimla

Shimla

Queen of hills — colonial charm, Mall Road and toy train.

About Shimla

Once the summer capital of British India, Shimla still wears its colonial past with pride. Christ Church on the Ridge, Mall Road's bustle, Jakhoo temple on the hilltop, and the UNESCO-listed toy train from Kalka — every corner tells a story.
