Learn more about Shimla

Ascend to this former British summer capital on the narrow-gauge toy train, winding through misty pine forests with views that explain why the Raj fled here each summer. The Mall Road offers colonial architecture and modern shops, while Christ Church stands as a Gothic reminder of imperial days. Jakhu Temple rewards hikers with panoramic Himalayan vistas and an enormous orange monkey god statue. The Ridge provides the perfect spot for people-watching beneath neo-Gothic spires. History buffs shouldn't miss the Viceregal Lodge, where the partition of India was planned. When winter arrives, locals glide across South Asia's largest natural ice skating rink, a rare treat in a country known for its heat.
