The summer capital of British India at 2,200m. Mall Road, the UNESCO Toy Train, snow at Kufri, and Himalayan views that never get old. The hill station that defined hill stations.
Shimla is India's most famous hill station — the summer capital of British India, set at 2,200m in the Shivalik hills of Himachal Pradesh. The Mall Road, the Ridge, Christ Church, and the Viceregal Lodge are all perfectly preserved reminders of the colonial era, giving Shimla a unique character that no other hill station in India quite matches.
The Kalka-Shimla Toy Train — a UNESCO World Heritage narrow-gauge railway that climbs through 103 tunnels and crosses over 800 bridges — is one of the great rail journeys in India. The journey from Kalka to Shimla takes 5–6 hours through spectacular mountain scenery and is as much a destination as the town itself. Kufri at 2,600m offers snow activities from December through March, and the Himalayan Nature Park there is excellent for families.
For families from Delhi, Shimla is the most accessible classic hill station — 5–6 hours by road via Chandigarh, or a combination of train to Kalka and the Toy Train up to Shimla. Tripharbr handles all transfers, hotel bookings, Toy Train tickets, and activities so your Shimla trip is seamless from start to finish.
