A little context changes everything
Shimla, beyond the postcard
Shimla’s streets preserve the legacy of its role as a British-era summer capital. Its civic buildings and hill railway tell the story of a mountain town reshaped during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The Kalka–Shimla railway forms part of the UNESCO-listed Mountain Railways of India. A heritage walk offers a different perspective from the usual scenic stops.
