AROUND SHIMLA |
Shimla can be made as a center point for exploring central and
western Himachal. Having a car at one's disposal is a great help as most of the
places are 1-2 hrs away and one can make a daily escapade to one or two places
and come back to one's hotel in Shimla or make a overnite stop depending on your
mood. Closer to Shimla one can visit the Tara Devi temple,11
km and Kamna Devi temple at Prospect hill, 5km for not only religious reasons but also for some
solitude and picturesque views. Summer Hill 5km, Mashobra, known for
beautiful gardens and Chadwick falls can make for a daytime excursion. About 16km on NH 22 is this small town known
for skiing during winter. There is also the Himalayan Aviary harboring some
mountain birds including Monal, the state bird of Himachal. In summers one can
do horse and yak riding on the green meadows. One can trek to the Mahasu peak
for some adventure. Some resorts have come up around Kufri on the Kufri-Chail
road for those seeking abode away from the maddening crowds of
Shimla.
