Frisky Trails – Best Taxi Service in Shimla & Tour Packages

Shimla, often called the “Queen of Hill Stations,” charms travelers with its cool weather and hilltop vistas. This Himachal Pradesh capital was the summer capital of British India in 1864, and even today its Tudor-style churches and colonial-era buildings add old-world charm. Nestled in the Himalayas at about 2200 meters, Shimla’s average annual temperature is around 17°C—summers are mild and even winter can bring snow in town, making Shimla a refreshing getaway for families, couples, and solo travelers. Whether you come to enjoy panoramic mountain views or stroll through lush pine forests, Shimla’s beauty and pleasant climate will make your journey memorable.

Top Places to Visit in and around Shimla

• Mall Road: The vibrant heart of Shimla, lined with colonial-era shops, cafés and the historic Town Hall. It’s best enjoyed on a leisurely walk, soaking up the old-world charm and street scenes.

​

• The Ridge & Christ Church: A large open plaza (The Ridge) offering stunning mountain views. The neo-Gothic Christ Church (built 1857) stands here as an iconic landmark with its tall spire and stained-glass windows.

​

• Jakhu Temple: An ancient hilltop Hanuman temple surrounded by forests. Its 108-foot Hanuman statue is visible from afar, and the shrine rewards visitors with panoramic views of Shimla and the surrounding valleys

​

• Kufri: A picturesque hill resort 20 km from Shimla. Known for its panoramic Himalayan views and lush surroundings, Kufri is popular for skiing and snow sports in winter and for hiking and the Himalayan Nature Park in summer.

​

• Naldehra: A scenic village 23 km from Shimla, famous for one of India’s oldest golf courses. Its 18-hole course, laid out in the early 1900s, is set amid tall pines and offers lovely valley views.

​​

• Chail: A tranquil mountain town about 45 km from Shimla, surrounded by deodar forests. It is also home to the world’s highest cricket ground (at 2444m above sea level) and a historic royal palace.
