Shimla aka: Simla, शिमला, ਸ਼ਿਮਲਾ, شملہ

Beautiful mountains. I didn’t like main city as much as the places around.

n Snow was as messy as fun :)

I live in this city…

This place has changed a lot in recent years. In early 90s, this place used to be too cool in June-July when it is high – summer in rest of north India but these days, it also becomes hot in summers.

Good place if you want to stay for short span of time. You can enjoy the roads and natural beauties here.

Shimla is magical. Maybe not all people would feel it, but my time there is unforgettable because of two characters I met. They say on clear days you can see the Himalayas . . . unfortunately during my time it was not to be.

Shimla is the old British capital that people used to head to to escape the heat of the plains. We stayed four nights here before, as I really enjoyed it here. One of the best things, is up on the Mall, there are no vehicles of any kind allowed, so it makes for a much more enjoyable trip when you can walk and not have to worry about being run down by an auto, or a car. There are plenty of nice shops, so many eateries, an old Christian church, statues of Indira Gandhi, bleachers that you can sit on and look down the hills at the wonderful scenery. The best pizza I ever had in my life was at the Dominoes here. There are also places where you can get other western food, but I prefer to eat the local food. Had some wonderful chow mein and momos at one Tibetan stall here. Shimla is a lot of walking up and down, but plenty to see and enjoy.
