Shimla

Shimla, the summer capital of the erstwhile British Raj is the beautiful hill station nestling in the cradle called the Himalayas . Inhabited by rosy cheeked, light footed Himachalis, this city commands a majestic view of the mountains and occasional visits from low slung clouds. To get to this heaven in the mountains, the simplest way would be by air while the railway and road transport have their own pros and cons. A walk on the famous Mall Road flanked with trinkets and garments on either side, a rickety bus ride along the curves of the mountains, a cable car that takes you to the heights of another gargantuan mountain top, a meal fit for a king at the endless choices of hotels and restaurants or an evening at the Gaiety Theatre where you can re visit the grandeur of the past; all these are what form the essence of Shimla and more. If you think it all ends here, think again; Shimla keeps its tourists fresh with the cool weather in summers and with a healthy warm glow from within in winters while the outdoor activities keep you ready and raring to go. Skating, trekking, golf and animal safaris are what you could keep yourself occupied with. All in all, Shimla is a paradise for honeymooners, families and even a group of friends who want a weekend break from one of the nearby cities.
