Jammu To Shimla

Shimla – An Indian Heritage Walk through the British Raj

Post by Ketan | Pune | May 2, 2006

The journey to Simla is itself a heritage site on which 'toy trains' still ply, passing through 103 tunnels and beautiful wooden stations. The train journey takes six hours and lifts your soul higher with every view – don’t miss it for the world. Visit Shimla anytime during the year – each season brings a new aspect to this “Queen of the Hills”. During the monsoon, some of the best sunsets beckon you! And watch out for the mischievous monkeys who snatch food packets right from your hands – and who are quite capable of snatching the glasses off your face!

Walk in the clouds at Shimla

Preferable mode of transport - Hire a car from Chandigarh - self driven Taxis are expensive. You will spend more on travels within the city if you dont have a self driven vehicle as places are far off. While travelling on a horse, be ware that the saddle is well tied. Shopping prices are very fixed however you can pay the amount as the people there are honest and helpful. They usually ask what the product is worth unlike other tourist destinations.
