Tour Overview

Shimla, the ‘summer capital’ of British India, sprawls along a crescent shaped ridge at an altitude of over 2100m. The famous main street, ‘The Mall’, lined with stately English homes and the fortress-like former Viceregal Lodge, reinforces Shimla’s quintessential English look. It’s worth exploring the narrow streets, which fall steeply away from the ridge and give way to colourful bazaars. Beyond The Ridge, you’ll discover Lakkar Bazaar, the place for souvenir shopping. A short walk to the highest point of The Ridge offers fine views of the town, surrounding valley and snow-capped peaks.
