The Ridge is Shimla's wide open promenade in the heart of town, home to the yellow Christ Church from 1857. Come at sunset for the best mountain views.
A car-free street lined with British-era buildings, cafés, shops and the Gaiety Theatre. It meets The Ridge at Scandal Point, the town's favourite meeting spot.
Just 16 km out of Shimla, Kufri is where you take a pony up to Mahasu Peak and visit the Himalayan Nature Park. It is the nearest snow spot from December to February.
Shimla's highest hill (about 2,455 m) is topped by an old Hanuman temple and a 108-foot statue you can spot from across town. Keep an eye on the monkeys!
A short drive beyond Kufri, Fagu looks over step fields of apples and potatoes. Come in harvest season and pick fruit right from the trees.
This narrow-gauge line has run since 1903 and is on the UNESCO World Heritage list. Over 96 km it passes more than 800 bridges and over 100 tunnels.
