Honeymoon done right, that is how I would describe this trip. Viceregal Lodge gardens are gorgeous for photos and the whole town carries an old world charm that never gets boring.
Loved the pine forest strolls, only wish the itinerary had one more free evening in town.
Pine forest walk was the highlight for my wife, so peaceful and cool even in September. Only gripe is Mall Road gets far too crowded by evening and finding a quiet table anywhere becomes a task.
Mall Road in the evening with a hot coffee and my husband, watching the town wind down, was our simple happy place all four nights. Add the crisp September air and the pine walks and it made for a proper unhurried couple's break.
Colonial charm everywhere you look, Shimla really does feel like stepping into another era.
Went up for our anniversary and Shimla delivered. The drive up was gorgeous, the Viceregal Lodge gardens were made for photos, and Jakhu Temple's view over the town at sunrise more than paid back the early start. Just mind the monkeys with your bags.
