The British Empire may have ceased to live, but its echoes linger on in Shimla. As the summer capital of the British in India, this was the country's focal point for the better part of every year and now. These days, it has well developed facilities, ease of access and numerous attractions making it one of India's most popular hill resorts. Placed in the minor ranges of the Himalaya Mountains, it is bounded by pine, deodar, oak and rhododendron forests. Towards the north lie the snow - covered high ranges, while the valleys respire whispering streams and swaying fields. Within the town are host of grand colonial edifices, quaint cottages and charming walks. Shimla holds an assortment of shopping sport and entertainment.
