Spend your first day immersing yourself in the beauty of Shimla's famous promenade- The Ridge. Stroll around and enjoy the scenic views of Shimla's picturesque skyline. You can also enjoy various activities like horse-riding, ice cream tasting, and shopping for souvenirs.
Take a morning drive to Kufri and enjoy the perfect family-friendly destination. Kufri is known for its scenic beauty, hiking, and trekking trails. The place is home to Asia's largest natural reserve of the Himalayas, and you can enjoy activities such as skiing, horse-riding, and other winter sports.
Wrap up your trip by visiting Shimla's State Museum and learning about the history and culture of the region. The Museum displays a rich collection of artefacts, paintings, coins, and sculptures of Himachal Pradesh and is also home to the largest collection of Pahari miniature paintings. After that, you can grab lunch at some of Shimla's best restaurants near the Mall.
If you have more time, try to include a visit to Jakhu Temple, Mall Road, Annandale, and Christ Church. For those who have less time, skip Kufri or State Museum and spend more time exploring Shimla's great food and shopping scene on the Mall Road. Don't forget to carry warm clothes, comfortable shoes, and raincoats, as the weather can be unpredictable.
