Shimla Trip
Once the summer capital of British India, Shimla’s architecture still whispers tales of the colonial era — with grand buildings, winding lanes, and quaint churches lining its iconic Ridge and Mall Road. Whether you're a romantic at heart, a nature enthusiast, or a family looking to unwind, Shimla welcomes every traveler with open arms and misty mountain air. From the heritage-rich Viceregal Lodge and the serene Jakhoo Temple perched atop the highest hill, to the toy train ride through pine-clad valleys and bustling local bazaars, Shimla is a blend of history, spirituality, and leisurely charm. Walk under deodar trees, sip hot chai as the clouds roll in, or explore nearby gems like Kufri and Naldehra — each moment here is a gentle reminder of nature’s quiet beauty.
