The capital of Himachal Pradesh, Shimla is a city bringing together beautiful mountain views, magical snowy winters, wonderful toylike buildings, and a rich Himachali culture. The sunsets here warm your soul whereas the adventure activities around freeze your senses. Even after being a popular tourist hub, Shimla has some charm about itself that brings in people from all over, sometimes just for connectivity, while at others, for a special connection.
As human beings, we find ourselves leaning back to history and what was left behind to find our purpose in the present life. That being said, Shimla is dearly loved by travellers for so many reasons, but its Victorian architecture is one of the primary. Churches and colonial lodges are scattered throughout the city, and only add to the view of mountains and greenery.
Like every mountain town, Shimla has a unique vibe to it. This vibe is of car horns but also chirping birds, snow in the winters but also amazing blossoms by spring, a fanfare of tourists, but also homes of the kindest locals.
Considering the popularity of Shimla, it sure tends to get a little overcrowded sometimes. Thankfully, the villages around it make for a perfect offbeat experience too. Naldehra, Cheog, Theog, Koti, Kotkhai, Narkanda and Kotgarh are some of the spots you may want to consider if you want to spend time in the mountains, away from the touristy crowds!
Shimla happens to have Indiaâs only natural ice skating rink! All thanks to the appropriate weather conditions in Winter that help sustain it naturally, the ice skating rink attracts travellers as well as locals to slip nâ slide for a few months every year.
Shimla happens to be the birthplace of many famous personalities like Anupam Kher, Yami Gautam, Kangna Ranaut, Preity Zinta, and Ruskin Bond!
Shimla also pioneered the boarding school culture in India with Bishop Cotton School. Over the years, it has produced many army officers, ambassadors, judges, ministers, and politicians that have served the nation.
