I visited Shimla the capital of the state of Himachal Pradesh, India last year in July. It is one of the most popular hill stations as tourists from all across India and the world visit to enjoy the wonderful cool climate. It is an 8 to 9 hours’ drive from Delhi, the capital of India. Shimla has many hotels including 5 star, 3 star, and budget hotels. My mom was born and brought up in Shimla so she became my guide during my visit to the hill station.
The most important tourist attraction in Shimla is the Mall, which is the main shopping street. Many shops are there which sell woolen clothes, beautiful jackets, strolls, kids wear, and India ethnic wear. If you like shopping on your vacations then Mall is the best place to do it. Numerous restaurants, bars, coffee shops, tourist offices, banks, and post offices are also located in the Mall.
There is a beautiful Christ Church located on The Ridge, which is the second oldest church in the whole North India. The Ridge is another famous tourist attraction in Shimla, which is built at the topmost point of the town. From here, you can get an excellent view of the surrounding hills. If you like British style architecture then you should visit Viceregal Lodge, which is a mansion, constructed in 1888 under the supervision of Lord Dufferin.
Then there is the Lower Bazar where the less expensive hotels, restaurants, stores, and wholesale market are located. This bazar has an old world charm to it where you can relish authentic food of Shimla. If you want to buy souvenirs or gifts for your near and dear ones then it is advisable to head to Lakkar bazar where you can find many shops, which offer wooden articles and other gift items. The overall climate in Shimla is excellent all throughout the year as it is much cooler than the lower plains. Moreover, natural beauty of hills and tall trees add to the charm of this beautiful hill station Shimla.
