| About Shimla Tourism |
|
A magnificent hang-over of the British Raj, Shimla's
cool environs still remain the biggest magnet for Indian tourists. And
so we have taken the best of what the British created, and mixed it
with the quintessentially Indian - and every summer thousands of people
from the plains enjoy themselves to the hilt in this popular summer
retreat. Independent
India has been generous and not pulled down the remnants of colonial
architecture - instead we have punished it to the extreme by adding
concrete high rises, swanky stores and fast food joints - elbowing out
the colonial shops and tea houses. Life moves on regardless and so does
Shimla.
So in the dizzy 60s it flaunted the joyous cavorting of Bollywood stars
- in the 90s it took a serious look at the ghastly impact of
over-development - and in the 21st century it started
setting in place protective measures for its heritage and environment.
The good thing is that all is not spoilt. There's plenty of the old Shimla, away from the tangled pleasures of the Mall |

Ajay, Kanpur | 17th June 2009 Kufri and Jakhu Temple
| Overview of the destinationWe could not find anything special about this place. Just a horse riding but very costly 250/- for 1-2 km. Horse owners are very rude Food, sight-seeing and shopping Mall road is good for shopping as well as food. Activities & things to do Nothing special in Shimla. Try to go to Manali and Rohtang pass. Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc. Try to select hotel yourself. Do not rely on hotel agents. You will surely get good hotel at below 1000/- per day rent. | Peaceman, Delhi | 24th October 2008 Shimla-kullu-manali HIMANCHAL TOURISM
