Shimla, the “Queen of Hills,” sits perched in the lower Himalayas in Himachal Pradesh. It was once the summer capital of British India, and today it combines colonial charm, pine forests, rugged mountain views, and a relaxed hill-station ambience. Its toy train, colonial architecture, mountain walks, viewpoints, and proximity to other hill towns make it a favourite escape for nature lovers and culture seekers alike.
