Shimla

The soul of Shimla.

Shimla, the "Queen of Hills," is India's most iconic and beloved hill station, the former summer capital of British India, perched at 2,206m in the Himalayas of Himachal Pradesh. Book a Shimla tour package from India to walk the charming colonial Mall Road lined with Victorian architecture, shop at the bustling Lakkar Bazaar for wooden handicrafts, visit the historic Christ Church (North India's second oldest church), ride the UNESCO-listed Kalka-Shimla Heritage Toy Train through 102 tunnels and 864 bridges, and enjoy Kufri snow activities in winter. Shimla's apple orchards of Mashobra, the scenic Jakhu Hill Hanuman Temple trek, and the serene Chadwick Falls nature walk make it the perfect weekend getaway and romantic honeymoon destination for Indian couples and families. With its crisp mountain air, colonial charm, and accessibility from Delhi by road and train, Shimla remains India's top domestic hill station year after year.
