While Himalayan Shimla typically sees snow in the winter, its temperate summer climate and refreshing mountain air led to its adoption as the summer capital of British India in 1863. Today, Shimla remains a sought-after destination for trekking, mountain biking, and heritage walks.

Once the residence of Lord Kitchener, former commander-in-chief of the British army, Wildflower Hall is now a 5-star resort in Shimla. It embodies the grandeur of a stately home, boasting a welcoming lounge, luxurious accommodations, a snooker and billiards room, and a well-stocked library.
