What travelers are saying
- centralvicBallarat, Australia551 contributionsNo need to buy anything to enjoy here- though we bought an ice cream each. :)
We walked up to the church and back down in our short time here, finding the shops interesting because there are high-end shops, and also little local businesses- one book shop looks like it's from Harry Potter!
We included a little time on the middle level, seeing what the locals shop for.
We would have liked more time to visit, but even for a short time, it's time well spent.Written November 5, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AndythebaggieBirmingham, UK2,328 contributionsDid a tour here, and it was fun. This historic Victorian theatre was the centre of cultural entertainment for the elite in the British Raj days.
Great to see it restored and still producing plays.
Short tour of around 20
Minutes going up on stage and up to the balcony as well as hearing about the history of this fine theatre.
The enthusiasm and friendliness of the staff is palpable. Only shame is we couldn’t have attended the interesting looking production tonightWritten September 10, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The plaques lining the walls are memorials to those lost in India during the British Raj era and are fascinating. Some nice stained glass too. This is a good spot to relax and reflect just yards from the hubbub of town.Written September 10, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Indian GhummakadHimachal Pradesh, India940 contributionsNothing Much but still worth visiting here. The views of One part of Shimla are a nice place.
Not much of a crowd as well hence you can be there peacefully for a few hours.Written September 10, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We went during winter, after snowfall had just hit the place. We went up the mountain portly by car, then rest by jeep (requires 4WD). They took us to a viewing area atop the hill, where there were snow activities, such as ski-ing and tubing. As you leave the top, on your way down, you can stop at the many scenic spots to view the grand mountain side filled with greenery and some snow.Written March 22, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Andrew DSingapore, Singapore398 contributionsAn interesting temple dedicated to the goddess Kali with British-inspired architecture. It is rather unusual and you can also spend some time observing the rituals of pilgrims pouring water while praying.Written May 20, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Indian GhummakadHimachal Pradesh, India940 contributionsVisited here using Ropeway which was too costly in my opinion but it was worth spending. The hill top is just awesome. But be aware of Monkeys they will come to you like anything and Take Prashad from you , But if you don't have parashad they will take your stuff Mobile phone, Gogle specs and all.
But in a nice and peaceful area you can easily spend the entire day here.
