Amidst the idyllic grandeur of Shimla, there is a certain colonial élan here unparalleled by hill stations of this kind.
Worth seeing when in Shimla are landmarks like the neo-Gothic Christ Church and the Tudor library building.
In addition, the Indian Institute of Advanced Studies is set apart for its magnificently English renaissance flavor. After all, this was once the British Viceregal Lodge.
More or less, Shimla also has holy places galore such as in Sankat Mochan and Narkanda.
Other than these, Shimla amazes visitors with heartrendingly sweeping panoramas of the lands below. They are to be beheld at the fantastic viewpoints near the Jakhoo Temple, which rests atop Shimla's highest peak. |
