Shimla
Nestled at an altitude of
2,159 meters (7197 feet) above sea level, Shimla was discovered by the British
as their summer capital. Even today the hill station continues to be patronized
by holidaymakers from within and outside the country who come here to escape
the torrid heat of the plains and revel in its scenic surroundings, Some of the
most notable attractions here include Viceroy Lodge, Christ Church, Gaiety
Theater and century-old temples such as the Sankat Mochan Temple, Tara Devi
Temple and Bhimkali Temple on the outskirts of Shimla
