Shimla holidays

Basking in the beauty of the majestic Himalayan Mountain range, and with the lingering legacy of the British colonial era, Shimla holidays are perfect for those who love both nature and history. Shimla is known as the ‘Queen of Hills’ simply because it’s spread across seven hills in the northwest Himalayas. Situated atop a ridge that stretches on for miles, Shimla sits among lush valleys and forests of rhododendron, oak and pine in one direction, and dramatic snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas in the other. The British legacy is still evident in the architecture of Shimla. The narrow, winding roads are lined with Victorian buildings and churches that have been carefully restored, creating a charming old-world charm. If you’re looking to spend some ‘me time’ amid the peace and spirituality, Christ Church adds a sense of serenity and solitude to a Shimla holiday. The 1857 neo-Gothic church is positioned at the Ridge and offers breath-taking views of the Himalayan Mountains – so you can take a minute to map out your trekking adventures through these magical routes. Then explore the colourful and vibrant bazaars of this charming Indian town and relish in its chaotic side. Read more
