    2. The next destination is the Ridge of Shimla, known for organising several government functions and fairs. It is the key venue for all the major events as well as celebrations that take place in Shimla.
    3. Continue walking on Mall Road, a wide open street that has everything, from shops selling some exclusive artefacts to the spectacular view of the snow-capped mountain ranges set against an orangish hued sky.
    4. Visit the Gaiety Heritage Cultural Complex, which was built in the Victorian or Gothic style of architecture over a century ago and showcases immense historical and cultural significance in India.
    5. Pass through the Town Hall and many monuments and buildings that have been designed and constructed by the best architects during the British rule in India.
    6. Stop at Scandal Point, which rests at the crossroads of the city's main roads, Ridge Road and Mall Road. This point is a mountain lover's haven because it enjoys a picturesque and unobstructed view of gigantic mountains covered in a blanket of dense fir and spruce.
    7. Continue walking to explore the heritage buildings of Shimla Post Office, Telegraph Office and Bantony Castle. These are examples of British Colonial or Hilly architecture.
    8. Visit the Kalibari Temple on Jakhoo Hill, an ancient place of worship dedicated to Goddess Kali that was built in 1845 and is considered of immense religious importance for devotees.
    9. The tour ends at St. Michael’s Cathedral, which is famous for its architectural splendour showcasing French-Gothic style.
