About Shimla - Queen of the Hills in , Shimla

Shimla was the former official summer capital of the Government of India right up until 1947, when India gained Independence. Shimla was originally a small hill village named after the goddess Shamla Devi, a manifestation of Kali. Discovered by the British in 1819, it became a popular refuge from the heat of the plains of North India. In 1903, a railway line was laid, connecting it to the plains, and thus making it easily accessible. One of the attractions of Shimla, is this World Heritage toy train, that stills runs on a narrow gauge train track from Kalka , in the foothills, to Shimla.
