Shimla, one
of Indias most famous hill stations, derives its name from
Goddess Shyamala, an incarnation of Goddess Kali, the deity
of power and wrath. However, unlike its name, Shimla is a
perfect heaven for the ones in search of tranquility. Nature
has blessed this capital city with innumerable gifts and man
has used them to make Shimla one of Indias best locales.
Perched at an altitude of 2159 m above sea level, Shimla is
located towards the southern parts of the north Indian state
of Himachal Pradesh. It is the state capital and is at a
distance of 343 km from Delhi, 260 km from Manali, and 119
km from Chandigarh. The temperature range is not very high
and the maximum temperature rarely crosses 25°C during
summers. Winters are cold due to the chilly winds from the
upper Himalayas. Around Christmas, Shimla experiences
snowfall. The best season to visit Shimla is between
September and November.
