A former colonial summer capital built along a single ridge with a mock-Tudor train station and church to match, a toy train up from the plains rated among the most scenic short rail journeys anywhere, and a mall road promenade that still closes to traffic every evening.
The best time to visit Shimla is Apr–Jun, when typical daytime highs reach about 26°C (79°F).
