Shimla Hill Station – Shimla travel guide
The one place that has been declared the Summer Capital of British India is the Shimla Hill Station. Located at the lower levels of the Himalayas, it was back in 1819 when Lord William Bentinck persuaded the Raja to part with the small village.
For the religious experience, make your way over to St. Micheal’s Cathedral which at one point was considered to be the finest cathedral in the whole of India. Adorned with a masterpiece of stained glass that depicts faith, humanity, hope and faith this cathedral is a definite must see.
There is also a number of older temples at the Shimla Hill Station for one to see and get a taste of the local cultural diversity. After all of this though, you can make your way to the cricket and polo grounds just at the edge of the Shimla Hill Station and then out into the natural surroundings which inspire the soul to explore this Himalayan foothills region.
None the less, no matter how you look at it, you will always be able to find something in this Summer resort Capital of British India to keep you satisfied and content. You will never the less want to see more of this picturesque town even though you know you will have to soon leave and go back to your home.
