Shimla offers numerous vantage points showcasing Himalayan grandeur. Jakhu Temple, situated at 8,048 feet, provides panoramic city views and houses the world's largest Hanuman statue. The ropeway journey to the temple adds adventure to the spiritual experience, making it a must-visit stop on Shimla and Manali tour.

 

The Ridge, Shimla's heart, serves as a central gathering point with views of snow-covered peaks on clear days. This open space connects Mall Road with Scandal Point and hosts various cultural events throughout the year. Travelers explore and spend their evenings here, enjoying the cool mountain breeze and local street food.

 

Summer Hill, about 5 kilometers from the main town, offers serene surroundings away from tourist crowds. This area inspired Mahatma Gandhi during his stay and provides peaceful walking trails through cedar forests.

 

Kufri, 16 kilometers from Shimla, sits at a higher altitude offering better mountain views and snow activities during winter. The Mahasu Peak in Kufri provides 360-degree views of the surrounding ranges.
