zipsterz Says: Up at the Jakkhu temple, Ram Dave, the pujari (prayer conductor), studies monkey social behaviour. He has found a way to control them through eye contact. This can be witnessed every Sunday in the compound in front of the Hanuman temple.

NEILHALLIDYA Says: Patterned after an English great house, complete with its own small parish church, the old Viceroys Lodge is stepped in character and well worth a visit.This was the builiding the likes of Curzon used when retreating from the heat of Delhi in the summer months. I only...
SmileyLeSa Says: There is an entire road of shopping dedicated exclusively to all sorts of wooden craftsmanship items. You can purchase anything from elephant or camel figuriens to rolling pins or other decorative items. The prices are very reasonable. Its a good place to buy some wooden...
SmileyLeSa Says: An evening with a beautiful sunsent must be taken in while visiting Shimla. The sun glistens off the mountain peaks and the if you're lucky they sky could be filled with magnificent hues of reds and oranges. We were only in Shimla one night, bue were fortunate enough to take...

colours of india travel agent: Colours of india travel agent
durga0810 Says: Never ever book a package from colours of India, they don't deserve to be travel agent, they make false promises while booking tickets and package. They promise some thing and you end up with something. No value for money, they cheat people by giving u worst accommodation in...

Malwadabha Restaurant: The best chai during freezing day !!!
anitayusof Says: The temperature is minus 3. I only hv 2 nights in Shimla, so I brave the cold to view the small town. I spotted this small restaurant near Lakkar Bazaar. My son ordered Special Thali (vegetarian rice) and myself, buttered chappati with dhal and curry. Yummy !!! But the best...
Barista coffee shop: Starbucks with a conscience?
NEILHALLIDYA Says: Also, situated on The Mall is Barista. Similar to an Indian Starbucks. So, if you like Starbucks, you will like this. It has much less character than the Indian Coffee House but the coffee, the food are more "western" and slightly more expensive.It does have some interesting...
Indian Coffee House: Not Starbucks - thank god!

Snow King Retreat: Bbq weather
jmschief Says: As always excellent food and when the rain came so did the umbrellas - and we never even had to carry one!!!
Bar at Snow King Retreat: Not one for the die hard clubbers
jmschief Says: Apart from one night when we visited Shimla we were happy staying at the resort - the food was excellent although believe it or not, we were looked after a bit too well. A couple of nights we didn't really fancy food and just preferred a couple of beers but even though we...
Toy Train : Slow but worth the experience
anitayusof Says: I took the Shimla - Kalka toy train. I booked online from own country to make sure that I got the seat since this train is always fully booked. The train leaves on time. It was slow, but the view, as many had said, was awesome. Really worth the time spent.
alycat Says: If you have some time to spare, then take a slow toy train up to Shimla. There is nothing much to do, but the experience of chugging up the hills, past little hamlets and terraced fields, making your way through tunnels and over breathtaking bridges. Its leisurely pace...
Vija_v Says: Already on the first day when we arrived in Delhi we started to look for the train tickets and on the same evening we left to Shimla.At first we had night journey till Kakla, but after we get on the "Toy train", which took us till Shimla. Train is very small and cosy. It...

alycat Says: Make sure you have a hotel or room booked in advance. Touts selling hotel rooms will pester you like hell the moment you get off the train. There is a Himachal tourism office at the train station, make sure you avail thier facilities. There are also day trips organised by...
Breathtaking, like no where else in India
Kaplangh Says: The views! Being above clouds!If you need to escape the heat of India then head into the mountains. The journey is rather long, but worth it in every sense.
