Shimla, also known as Simla, is a hill station located in the state of Himachal Pradesh. It is the capital and also the biggest city of Himachal Pradesh. It is about 2,276 metres above sea level. The city of Shimla is probably best known as the Summer Capital of the British during their reign in India. A lot of time has already passed since the independence, but Shimla has retained its colonial charm with the several structures in the region. Perhaps this is what makes the city unique, set amidst the snow-clad background are these examples of colonial architecture that you won’t find elsewhere in the country.
