A few more good reasons for you to stay with us.
Shimla is a timeless hill station dotted with quaint colonial buildings poised along its twelve kilometre ridge.
Jakhoo Hill is the highest peak in Shimla. Standing at 2,438 metres, it offers a fantastic perspective of the Himalayas. Jakhoo Hill is also home to an ancient temple and a towering statue of Lord Hanuman, the monkey god; a symbol of unwavering energy and devotion. One can reach Jhakkoo Hill from Mall Road through ropeway.
This tranquil hill station was a favourite of the Viceroy Lord Curzon, who not only designed India’s first 9-hole golf course here, but also named his third daughter Alexandra Naldehra after it. Nowadays, Naldehra, at 2,195 metres altitude, boasts a challenging golf course that is rated amongst the best in the country. For those more interested in trekking, Naldehra is also home to Shaily Peak, whose hiking trail runs a steep 8 kms to the summit for beautiful views.
A passionately compiled museum about the Indian Army; its soldiers, regiments and the intense pride they have passionately treasured since colonial times. The museum is closed on Mondays.
Originally the Vice regal Lodge for Lord Dufferin, Viceroy of India (1884–1888), the Vice regal Lodge peers over Shimla from its perch on Observatory Hill. Worth a visit, for many momentous decisions were made in this building, including the move to carve Pakistan from India in 1947.
