The former summer capital of the British India, and the present capital of Himachal Pradesh, Shimla has been blessed with all the natural bounties which one can think of. It has got a scenic location, it is surrounded by green hills with snow capped peaks. The spectacular cool hills accompanied by the structures made during the colonial era creates an aura which is very different from other hill. Bulging at its seams with unprecedented expansion, Shimla retains its colonial heritage, with grand old uildings, charming iron lamp posts and Anglo-Saxon names. The Mall, packed with shops and eateries, is the main attraction of the town, and scandal Point, associated with the former Maharaja of Patiala’s escapades, offers a view of distant snow clad peaks.Shimla is ideally located, and though there is an air service to the town, it is best reached by road that takes in the charms of the Himalayan countryside at its best. There is a sense of nostalgia about Shimla, with its old bungalows and their gabled roofs and beautiful gardens.

Once you escape in this small and yet the most beautiful town of Himachal Pradesh, you are bound to find solace in the arms of its tranquil nature. The place is perfect for photographers as it offers ample opportunities for them to capture through their lenses. Shimla is not just about mountains and eye-catching landscapes. It’s also about the lifestyle of local inhabitants and their culture. While it is not so different from the rest of India, as a tourist you might spot the warm welcome they provide to all the tourists who visit there.
