Hill Stations Holiday Packages and Honeymoon Holiday Packages in Shimla
The British loved the town for its heavenly climate, scented pines and rhododendron forests, green pastures and snowcapped peaks. They dotted it with grand buildings and beautiful mansions. Come summer and the entire government—officers, menial staff, files and cabinets—would troop here. And Shimla became the Summer Capital of British India. The tradition continues even today, though unofficially. As the mercury begins its upward climb, the plains people too head northwards to Shimla for a reprieve from the sun. This mother of all hill towns finds something to offer everyone—honeymooners, adventure enthusiasts, nature lovers, and those with a colonial hangover.
Originally under the Nepalese kings, Shimla came to British attention in 1819. Wowed by its salubrious climate, the British persuaded the Nepalese king to part with it in 1830 and it became the most fashionable summer resort in northern India. In 1864, it was declared the summer capital of British India. The construction of the railway line from Kalka to Shimla made the hill town more accessible. After Independence, Shimla became the capital of Punjab until 1966, when it was transferred to and became the capital of Himachal Pradesh.
What to see
Historical Places
Viceregal Lodge and Botanical Gardens
Sitting pretty in the midst of landscaped gardens is this stunning grey mansion built for the British viceroys. It now houses the Indian Institute of Advanced Study. Guarding the Scottish-baronial mansion are a lion and a unicorn. Do walk the lawns and have a nibble at the café.
Museums
Himachal State Museum and Library
This museum, located 2.5 km west of Scandal Point (city centre) has a modest collection of ancient sculptures, paintings, coins, and photographs. Don’t miss the ground-floor gallery of Pahari miniatures, a style developed under the patronage of the Kangra rulers. The library has some historical books and manuscripts.
