SHIMLA
- The capital of himachal pradesh and former summer capital of british india, shimla is the state's most important center. Bulging at its seams with unprecedented expansion, shimla retains a colonial aura, with its grand old buildings, among them the stately viceregal lodge, charming iron lampposts and anglo-saxon names. The mall, packed with shops and eateries, is the center of attraction, and scandal point, associated with the former maharaja of patiala's escapades, offers a view of distant snowclad peaks.
- Shimla's mood changes with the seasons, each having its own charm. Perhaps the best time of the year is autumn. When the days are warm and bright and the nights crisp and cool.
