About the Destination

Why People Travel to Shimla

Shimla is India's most iconic hill station and the capital of Himachal Pradesh. Known as the Queen of Hills, it was once the summer capital of British India. Perched at an elevation of 2,206 metres in the Himalayan foothills, Shimla offers stunning mountain landscapes, colonial architecture, and cool weather throughout the year.

Top attractions include The Ridge (the town's social hub), Mall Road (shopping and cafes), Jakhoo Temple (hilltop Hanuman temple), Kufri (skiing and snow activities), Christ Church (colonial era church), and the legendary Shimla Toy Train (Kalka–Shimla UNESCO Heritage Railway). Shimla is a top destination for honeymooners, family holidays, and summer escapes from the plains.
