March 28, 2026 Sonia Verma 6 min read
Shimla in winter is a magical experience. When the 'Queen of Hills' is covered in a blanket of white snow, the city transforms into a fairytale land.
1. Ice Skating at the Open-Air Rink
Shimla houses South Asia's only natural ice-skating rink. Skating under the open sky is a thrill you shouldn't miss.
2. Walking the Snow-Covered Ridge
The Ridge and Mall Road look stunning covered in snow. Enjoy a cup of hot coffee while watching the snowfall.
