Shimla - (43 kms)
Spilling over the steep slopes of a 12 km ridge, in the lower Himalayas , is Shimla, the summer capital of erstwhile British India . Now the capital of the state of Himachal Pradesh, it evokes a sense of nostalgia with its pretty gabled cottages, half-timbered buildings and old churches. The imperial legacy is at its most vivid here, and legends of a colorful past still walk the streets; while the Mall is agog with elegant shops and bustling, gay cosmopolitan crowds.
While in Shimla, one can tour Viceregal Lodge - the imposing six-storey edifice, which is today the institute for advanced studies, Jakhu hill - the highest point of Shimla with a famous temple dedicated to Lord Hanuman. St. Micheal's Cathedral on the Ridge, is regarded as the second oldest church in north India and is known for its fine stained glass windows.
