By far the best time to visit Shimla would be in the Indian summer season of April – June.

This is when the heat is unbearable in the North of India. So, Shimla is the perfect escape in the mountains.

Although the hotel prices go up three-fold in the summers months and the quality of those hotels is not the best value – the real money you’re paying for is the beautiful views of the mountains.

When I arrived, it started to rain. I don’t know about you, but royalroverholiday is something so mystical about the rain hitting the mountains and that fresh smell from the ground after. Maybe it’s just me!
