Day 1
Shimla
The summer capital of British India, Shimla with its pleasant weather and picturesque surroundings still draws thousands of tourists every summer trying to escape the heat of the plains. On your first day in Shimla head to the heart of Shimla, the Mall. Home to scores of cafes, bars, restaurants and boutiques, the Mall is the main thoroughfare in the city. In the Mall visit Gaiety Theatre, a historic cultural complex that first opened its doors in 1887 and Scandal Point. Catch a performance on stage or explore the Victorian building on your own.
Day 2
Shimla
Walk up Jhakoo Hill, the tallest of the seven hills that make up Shimla. The winding roads through dense deodhar trees will take you an ancient Hanuman temple at the top of the hill. This temple is also home to the tallest statue of the Monkey God in the world. Enjoy stunning views of the Himalayas and the company of wild monkeys that have made the temple their home before you make your way down to the city.
The highlight of your trip, however, will be Viceregal Lodge. The summer residence of the Viceroy of India, the Jacobethan mansion was allotted to the Indian Institute of Advanced Studies after India won her Independence.
Day 3
Shimla
Enjoy a sumptuous breakfast and the breathtaking view of the hills before your long drive home.
