Shimla Mall & the Ridge
Colonial ridge-top promenade, Christ Church, and the bookshops behind Scandal Point that most visitors never find.

The nearest village, a small nature park, and the ski slope that runs for about six weeks a year.
Orchards, the old Presidential retreat at Chharabra, and a forest road that is the best drive in the district.
The world's highest cricket ground, a palace hotel and a wildlife sanctuary of deodar and ghoral.
Hatu Peak at 3,400 metres, the temple at the top, and apple country that makes ours look like a garden.
An eighteenth-century shrine on a wooded summit, reached by a short climb through deodar.
Shimla's highest point, a very large Hanuman statue and a great many extremely confident monkeys.
Sanjauli Khurd — slate roofs, a working gharat mill, and families who have farmed alongside ours for generations.
A protected reserve of old-growth oak, closed to traffic. Barking deer, leopard sign, and total silence.
Nothing in that category yet.
Car, driver and a packed lunch from the kitchen. Ask a host the night before.
The drive we send people on when they only have one morning. Mostly forest, barely any traffic.
Early, cold and completely worth it. Breakfast is packed by the kitchen the night before.
The town as residents use it — bookshops, the Gaiety, and coffee where the ridge crowds don't go.
We keep three mountain-spec cars and two drivers who have done these roads their whole lives. Hire is by the half day.
Leave your email and we'll send a code good for a week on any direct booking.
