Why Choose Shimla as the Perfect Holiday Destination for Your Next Vacation?
Shimla is affectionately known as the “Queen of Hills” and is one of the finest hill stations in India. It is, at an altitude of 2,205 meters, nestled in the lap of the Himalayas, and is enchanted with colonial architecture, mountains draped in snow, lush pine trees, and a pleasant climate all year round. All these add to the place that has earned its history of being the summer capital of British India, thus lending a unique character to the place that differentiates it from other montane landscapes.
Shimla’s great loveliness is certainly not limited to its exquisite sights. This is a place that will let anyone forget city life completely with its extravagant fresh mountain air, its very peaceful valleys, and its perfect balance between majestic natural beauty and structures. Every nook and corner of Shimla has its own story to tell, be it the Mall Road or the Viceregal Lodge.
Food Wonders in Shimla
The vacation in Shimla would be even better with the mountain air, underlining the perfect catalyst for the craving. Any hot meal travels farther to satisfy the soul; this is especially true when indulging in local delicacies. Excellent Shimla is very much enwrapped in wholesome food culture, which accommodates champions of the local flavours and culinary traditions inherited from the Raj.
This is what the food looks like in comparison with some of what you should try on your trip:
1. Madra - Tastes of the Hills
Madra is probably the quintessential answer to Punjab’s Pindi Chole. It varies from chickpeas and incorporates a variety of veggies. This one is the dish that can be found in all homes in the region, mostly during festive occasions. The collection of spices fresh gives an impression of being extremely evocative with those mountain flavours. You can find this rich staple in almost every restaurant around Shimla, with each offering yet another twist to the dish.
2. Dham - Tradition On a Plate
The term Dham is more ample than a given dish. Traditionally, Dham is prepared in copper utensils and served on leaf dishes. In fact, now, the restaurants around Shimla relate to the contemporary interpretation of this traditional staple. Rajma and dal are the dishes included in a broad range of dishes, which also have rice, greens, and curd-based dishes. In some special occasions or festivals, ankes made out of rice flour and cake, which is made with buckwheat leaves or wheat flour added to the Dham are also enjoyed with Luxury Shimla holiday tours.
3. Sidu - For In-between Times
Savour this very popular snack that keeps you refueled in between meals while making your Weekend getaway a real treat to Shimla. Sidu is essentially a wheat pocket stuffed with a mix of mashed green peas, roasted peanuts, paneer, and walnuts. It is spiced up with dal and green chutney and served steaming hot on the side. It provides the still-hearty bitter strength to your sightseeing in Shimla.
4. Babru - An Interesting Take on Kachoris
It is the Himachali version of kachoris, which is a famous dish well known all around the country because of its flavor. Black chana dal is mashed into a paste and then infused with the local seasoning and herbs. Deep-fried goodness is stuffed in sweet and sour tamarind chutney. The steaming hot plate of Babru and the cold evenings make a match made in heaven.
Finest Restaurants in Shimla for an Ultimate Get-together
1. Baljee's & Fascination
Baljee’s & Fascination serves both as a small restaurant and a snack house to all its customers. This is one of the old businesses in the city that attracts both a local and a tourist crowd. Starting with its European heritage, the restaurant brings tradition to fusion through Italian and Indian cuisines.
Syrupy gulab jamuns have to be absolutely eaten at Baljee’s & Fascination. It pulls in shoppers because it is close to the mall, a busy commercial street. Mutton cutlet perfectly pairs with a silky smooth chocolate éclair dessert.
2. The Devicos
Devicos, Shimla’s historic eating house, is itself an impressive restaurant. The foremost attraction of Devicos comes alive after sunset. This restaurant has for itself a high-end status into which it has established itself within the elite dining range of the city. The exterior beautifully matches the Rajasthani-designed interior, which recalls the European heritage of Shimla. During the day, families come to enjoy a hearty meal, but this is one of those restaurants that light up at night as one of the most vivid in Shimla.
3. Seventh Heaven
Seven Heaven is home to a heavenly dining experience for honeymooners and couples. The elegant dining service at budget prices is offered on the seventh floor of the premium Combermere Hotel, ideally positioned in the heart of Shimla.
4. Cecil
Cecil operates as a high-end restaurant throughout the city of Shimla. It is available to anyone because it stands within the well-known Oberoi Luxury Hotel and Resort at Shimla. At this 7,000-foot elevation, you could be sitting and dining, enjoying an all-around view of Himalayan vistas. Many guests have even referred to the eatery as the “crown jewel” owing to the high prices that accompany it.
5. Wake & Bake Cafe
This happens to be the perfect storytelling destination. It’s surrounded by a historically dynamic space; hence, it appears really modern. Based on the casual vibe with the rich touch of bohemian and fabulous rustic culture, it lapsed into real laid-back beach culture. If you want to taste the rich flavors of international cuisine, this is the right place.

Perched at the highest point in Shimla, Jakhu Temple is dedicated to Lord Hanuman, with a towering statue of Lord Hanuman placed on top of the temple, 108 ft tall, which can be seen from almost every part of the city. The view overlooking the Himalayas and the valleys from this temple makes the long trek uphill worthwhile. - Viceregal Lodge (Rashtrapati Niwas)
An imposing structure that was once the residence of British viceroys, it finds itself flanked by exquisite gardens. Today, it houses an advanced study institute, and the guided tours available here are windowed into India’s colonial past. - Christ Church
Located on the Ridge, this neo-Gothic structure, built in the 1850’s stands as the second-oldest church in North India. Its stained-glass windows and majestic architecture make it one of Shimla’s most photographed landmarks. - Kufri
Just 16 kilometers away from Shimla, Kufri becomes a snowy paradise when Mother Nature decides to shower her blessings.

Best Time to Visit Shimla
- Summer Season (March to June)
Summer is the peak tourist season, with delightful weather ranging between 15 and 30°C. It is the best time for sightseeing, nature walks, and a lesser burning of the honey from the plains. You must book, as everything is in high demand. - Monsoon Season (July to September)
Heavy rains can cause occasional landslides and travel disruptions; however, on the upside, Shimla would be a green paradise. Accommodation and other deals in this off-season will be helpful for those who do not mind a bit of rain here and there. - Winter Season (October-February)
Winter changes Shimla into a snowy landscape from December to February, and it may be for those who want to witness snow, Kufri winter sports, and enchanting views of snow-laden sites. Pack the winter gear as temperatures here may fall below zero.
How to Reach Shimla?
Construction in the maternal womb of Himachal Pradesh, Shimla, is connected with the entire country via rail, air, and road. You can use the different options to reach Shimla.
- By Airways
The Jubberhatti Airport of Shimla is just 20 km from the city. However, this is the smaller aerodrome that hardly has room for the massive volume of air traffic. It is also a fact that the airport does not remain operational throughout the year. So if you are planning to fly into Shimla, Chandigarh is the next-best airport, quite reliable in terms of connectivity. You can then move ahead from Chandigarh Airport via bus, train, or private taxi. - By Roadways
Traveling from Chandigarh usually takes about 3 to 4 hours. Regular state-run buses and a number of private buses run between Shimla and Chandigarh. Of these, the private taxi is by far the most comfortable option, but it is very expensive compared to the bus. Shimla has the best connections to Punjab, Jaipur, Haryana, and many other parts of Uttar Pradesh. - By Train
The nearest broad-gauge railway station to Shimla is Kalka. It is connected to all major cities like Chennai, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Pune, and Bengaluru. The entire journey is about 5 to 6 hours of a leisurely odyssey filled with inspiring sights and beauty.
