Queen of the Hills: Shimla

Once the summer capital of India (during the British rule) and currently the capital of the state of Himachal Pradesh, Shimla is easily one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Country.
The spectacularly cool hills accompanied by the structures made during the colonial era create an aura, which makes it very different from other hill stations. Set atop a mountain in the Himalayas at an altitude of 2,159m (7,083ft) only makes this the journey to this Indian destination all the more exciting.
Here’s a look at Shimla as your next vacation destination:

Lower Bazaar (the lower mall): The Lower Bazaar is home to the city's less expensive hotels, cheaper restaurants and stores, and a congested wholesale vegetable market. Although less opulent than its upper neighbor, the Lower Bazaar retains an old worldly charm and is an excellent place to try some Shimla specialty dishes, like Uradh Dal with rice or Shepard's Pie.
Jakhu Temple: Jakhu Hill & Temple is set overlooking the town with some spectacular panoramic views over the surrounding valleys right out to the snowcapped peaks. According to the epic Ramayana, the monkey god Hanuman rested here during his journey to the Himalayan Mountains. The temple is a 45-minute walk from the Ridge, one can also hire pony or taxi to visit temple. It is a vantage point for witnessing the changing skyline as the sun rises or sets.
