Shimla

(Himachal Pradesh)


Colonial Charm

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.

Where to Eat
Shimla is much too commercialised to serve anything traditional. The hotels all have restaurants serving varied cuisine. You will find several eating joints in the Mall. Devicos is a multi-cuisine restaurant, serving north Indian, south Indian, Chinese and Continental. Baljees is ideal for breakfast or a quick lunch while shopping at the Mall. Chinatown predictably serves Chinese. The Park Caf at the east end of The Mall has a bar. Its milkshakes are worth an order. A good bet for Continental cuisine is Lutyen's Room at Springfield's (opposite Tibetan School, Chotta Shimla). If you want to dine in style, then the Cecil awaits you with its long list of wines and finger-licking fare.
