About Shimla & Spiti
Shimla, the former summer capital of British India, combines colonial charm with Himalayan grandeur. Walking down the famous Mall Road hand in hand, riding the UNESCO-listed toy train through mountain tunnels, and watching the first snow fall on pine forests — Shimla is romance in its most classic form.
For adventurous couples who want to go beyond the usual, Spiti Valley offers a raw, otherworldly landscape of high-altitude monasteries, barren mountains in shades of brown and gold, and a silence so profound it feels sacred. Shimla and Spiti together create a honeymoon of contrasts — charming and wild, cozy and vast.
