Shimla, the capital city of Himachal Pradesh, is one of India's most famous hill stations, known for its colonial charm, scenic landscapes, and cool weather. Perched at an altitude of over 2,100 meters, Shimla was once the summer capital of British India, and its colonial architecture and tree-lined avenues still reflect that heritage. The city is a major tourist destination, attracting visitors for its snow-capped mountains, historical landmarks, and opportunities for trekking, skiing, and shopping. Shimla is home to several educational institutions and government offices, making it a hub for administration and culture in the region. The Mall Road, Jakhoo Temple, Christ Church, and The Ridge are some of the most visited attractions in the city. The district also serves as a gateway to other hill stations like Kullu, Manali, and Kasauli. Shimla?s economy is primarily based on tourism, education, and government services, though it also has a significant presence of handicrafts and local markets. Shimla has been developing its infrastructure to support the growing number of tourists, with better transportation facilities, including the Shimla-Kalka Railway (a UNESCO World Heritage Site). The city is also famous for its natural beauty and peaceful environment, making it an ideal place for a quiet retreat.
