Shimla - When hill retreats and summer getaways were being established by the British in colonial India, Shimla was definitely the favourite child. Declared the official summer capital of British India, Shimla at an altitude of 2,205 metres offered much sought after respite from the scorching plains. With smatterings of a colonial past still evident amidst lush surroundings of pine and oak forests, Shimla’s rich heritage and natural beauty make it a popular holiday destination even today. Strung out along a 12km ridge, with steep forested hillsides falling away in all directions, the Himachal capital is a good appetite-wetter for the awe-inspiring mountain tracts of the state's interior.
