Situated in the North-west Himalayas, Shimla is the Capital of Himachal Pradesh. It was once famous as the Summer Capital of "The Raj". Though evocative of a bygone era, it is today a thriving Capital of a State, famous for its snowcapped peaks, apples, pine forests, flowers and gentle smiling people.
Visitors come to Shimla to walk down its famous Mall Road and also to experience Shimla in its many hues from spring flowers to autumn leaves, from the soothing green & gentle breeze of Summer to its Winter snows. It is truly a "Destination for all seasons ".
A special delight is to travel by one of the few remaining mountain Railways in the world-the toy train to Shimla - as it winds through 103 tunnels during its 90 km journey up the mountains!
