Shimla, often known as The Queen of Hills, was once famous as the summer capital of British India. With its old-world charm, beautiful colonial architecture and a stunning array of pedestrian-friendly shops, cafes and restaurants, romantic Shimla is the capital city of Himachal Pradesh and a popular hill-station destination for Indian families, honeymooners and thrill-seekers.

Shimla is best reached via the spectacular Kalka-Shimla railway; itself a UNESCO listed World Heritage Site, and both the weather and the mountain terrain that surrounds this spectacular tourism, cultural and educational centre is especially pleasant during the summer months.
