    It's my second time in Shimla. You can visit all places in Shimla only in 1 day. It's a 1 day trip. Near Shimla mall road, you can visit Jhaku Temple. To reach there you can take roapway, walking, taxi. Must visit Shimla mall road in night. It's a whole vibe

    The main attraction of Shimla or rather the ridge plain is the face of Shimla. It rules everyone's hearts with its absolutely beautiful and pleasant weather.

    . It is a beautiful attraction, covered with pine trees, Rhododendron, Himalayan Oak and firs trees, withย amazing views of Shimlaย and the hills nearby. It is a large open space, and the center of any cultural activities and most celebrations. You can find shops here ranging from the humble local grocers to the more up-market international brands. There are a large number of cafรƒยฉs, restaurants and a few pubs here for those looking for some entertainment and to spend a few hours relaxing after a strenuous itinerary.

    Just loved this place, one of the best attraction tourist spot in Shimla. Christ Church, Shimla, is the second oldest church in North India,on the top of that "Lord Hanuman Ji" always there for you and looking at you. ๐Ÿ™. One of the best place to capture the entire Shimla scenic view. Spectacular mountains can be seen from each angle. You may sit and relax here to spend some quality time with your family and beloved. There are few entertainments are available such as Horse riding , Click photos in traditional dress etc. You can easily find snacks and ice cream corner around the ridge. Tourists are instructed to take warm clothes as weather keeps on changing within a minutes. Enjoy your Trip to Shimla ,the queen capital of Himachal Pradesh.

    This is the best place I have ever seen. I went to Shimla for the first time. It was a beautiful sight here. The people were also very nice. It was a lovely sight to see here and there at night. There was no garbage at all on the road, but everything here is very expensive. You go here at night. There is very good lighting and very good photos come.

    Recently I visited Shimla. There are many buses like normal and electric buses available from Tutikandi new bus station to Shimla city. Mall Road is the life of shimla. This is one of the best locations in Shimla. I really like the vibes of the surroundings here. I visited this place when World Cup final 2023 was scheduled and here a big screen was placed. It was like breathtaking experience. We were cheering for India I mean whole crowd. Huge constructions are there in and within Shimla region. 4 floor buildings are mostly there. Buildings in Shimla are iconic and familiar to European type buildings as many British viceroy stayed in Shimla. Also visited Shimla toy station. I really liked the cleannesses and hygienic in the railway station. Overall itโ€™s a nice experience there in Shimla.

    It is one of the key tourist point. Many religious places at one place but most importantly, it's a proud feeling to see Indian flag on this much height. It has some beautiful places where you can definitely take awesome pictures and spend great quality time. It ha very markets nearby so you can plan one whole day to roam around nearby places. All of these pictures are from the places on the ridge.

  • 5/5 Aarti V. 2 years ago on Google
    Ridge also called as mall road of Shimla which is located at top which gives amazing view in different seasons . You can have himachali food there like siddu and try Himachali dress for photos and can have shopping of different articles of Himachal . You feel proud visiting ridge as you see India flag standing with pride . There is a lift from road till ridge which is maintained by government of himachal pardesh it cost just 10 rupees so you come by lift too.

    The place is the most happening one in the whole Shimla. The place is restricted for vehicular movement with the only exception of HPTDC run bus other than emergency services. The place has some great viewpoints overlooking the mountainous valley with some snack points for refreshments. The place is well connected to the mall road, which houses brand stores and restaurants of all kinds. The Christ Church and Shimla library, which are also tourist attractions, are also located at the end of the ridge.

    Love this place in Shimla that mingles some breathtaking mountain views, street food savouries and shopping. You will be bombarded by the local tour guides and cab drivers especially if they identify you wearing more clothes or they just get that you are not from around that place. Ignore and enjoy the mountains.

    It is a famous and bustling street that serves as the main commercial and social hub of the city. It stretches from Scandal Point to the Viceregal Lodge, offering a vibrant atmosphere with a range of shops, restaurants, cafes, and entertainment options. The Mall is known for its colonial-era architecture, with buildings adorned with charming facades. It provides a picturesque setting, especially during the evening when the street is illuminated with lights. Visitors can take leisurely strolls along the pedestrian-only stretch, enjoying the pleasant weather and exploring the various shops and boutiques selling a variety of local handicrafts, souvenirs, clothing, and jewelry. The Mall also houses several popular landmarks and attractions, including the Gaiety Theatre, Christ Church, Scandal Point, and Kali Bari Temple. It's a lively place where locals and tourists gather to shop, dine, and relax.

    It was a lot of fun to visit the ridge. It was the last day of the week. And I cannot express in words what I experienced. It was one of the special days of my life.

    Decent place for a hangout, the place js currently under renovation as well. Apart from that do not carry around food stuffs in your hand for the fear of attacking monkeys. Good places to see are the Church, Gaiety Theatre, Town Hall, etc

  • 5/5 Deepak S. 1 year ago on Google
    The ridge is the most happening place in Shimla. An evening ealk is a must if you are visiting. The place is full of young tourists after dusk. There are brand outlets, restaurants, and woollen clothes stores. It also has some picturesque spots. A good way to spend your evening, strolling down to the Church and sitting around the fountain.

    I'm glad to hear that you had a good experience at Ridge Shimla! While I don't have specific details about your experience, the Ridge in Shimla is a popular tourist spot known for its beautiful views, open space, and colonial architecture. It's a bustling hub where visitors can enjoy leisurely walks, soak in the scenic surroundings, and explore nearby attractions. It is basically Mall Road of Shimla, As a resident of Delhi , the Mall road shops didn't attract and connected with me as all were seen everywhere in Delhi NCR. The Ridge offers panoramic views of the Himalayan mountains and is also a venue for various cultural events and festivals throughout the year. It's a great place to unwind, enjoy the pleasant weather, and take in the charm of Shimla. If you'd like to share more about your experience or have any specific questions about Shimla or any other topic, feel free to ask!
