Shimla
Once a summer retreat for the British Raj, Shimla retains a faded elegance in its colonial churches, half-timbered Town Hall and quaint homes, all nestled amongst the pine forests and snow-dusted peaks of the Himalayan foothills. Arrive on the iconic Toy Train for a journey back in time, one taken by the memsahibs and civil servants of the Raj as they escaped the heat of the Plains.
Take afternoon tea at Wildflower Hall, the former home of Lord Kitchener, and soak in the far-reaching panoramas of the stunning Himalayas. Hike through thick pine forests and warm up with a cup of steaming chai before strolling through the pedestrianised streets of the town to uncover its historical wealth.
