Resort > Shimla

The capital of Himachal Pradesh came into light when the British discovered it in 1819. Till then, it was a part of the Nepalese kingdom. In 1864 Shimla was declared as the summer capital of India. After Independence, Shimla became the capital of Punjab and was later named the capital of Himachal Pradesh. In 1903 a rail line was constructed between Kalka and Shimla.

Blessed with natural bounties, Shimla is surrounded by pine, deodar and oak forests.

The word Shimla literally stands for "the abode of snow". Shimla derives its name from goddess 'Shayamla Devi', the Goddess Kali.
