This summer take a tour of Shimla, escape in the beauty of the snow capped Himalayan peaks and green pastures.

The British in India had called Shimla by various names-Viceroy’s Shooting box, Abode Of The Little Tin Gods and even Mount Olympus..
It has a remarkable location amidst the green hills with snow capped peaks, Shimla has been blessed with beautiful natural bounties which one can think of.

The unique thing is that it still retains its colonial charm and creates an ambience and view that is found nowhere else in India.
