Shimla
Shimla, the capital of Himachal Pradesh, is a major hill station in North India famous for its natural beauty, cool weather and colonial architecture. Situated at an altitude of about 2,200 meters above sea level, the city has also been the summer capital of the British Raj. Dense pine forests, snow-capped peaks, historical buildings, churches, temples and lively markets make Shimla an ideal tourist destination.
