Ascend to this former British summer capital on the narrow-gauge toy train, winding through misty pine forests with views that explain why the Raj fled here each summer. The Mall Road offers colonial architecture and modern shops, while Christ Church stands as a Gothic reminder of imperial days. Jakhu Temple rewards hikers with panoramic Himalayan vistas and an enormous orange monkey god statue. The Ridge provides the perfect spot for people-watching beneath neo-Gothic spires. History buffs shouldn't miss the Vice-regal Lodge, where the partition of India was planned. When winter arrives, locals glide across South Asia's largest natural ice skating rink, a rare treat in a country known for its heat.

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Shimla

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly time to visit Shimla is during February, September, and November, when hotel prices tend to be lower. For a great value for money experience, staying for at least 2 to 3 days is recommended, allowing you to discover significant landmarks, historical sites, and cultural attractions. You can explore beautiful temples, lush forests, scenic mountain views, and even the charming university. Outdoor activities like ice skating and roller skating, alongside horseback riding among the stunning flowers, make for a memorable trip while keeping things affordable.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To find accommodation deals in Shimla, consider exploring the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted rates on hotels as your travel date approaches. You could also enable email alerts or push notifications to stay informed about flash sales and special promotions, increasing your chances of securing cheap accommodation. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you're more likely to see the best rates. With these resources, you'll be well-equipped for a last-minute getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate based on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so having some flexibility with your travel dates could mean you may save on your stay in a Shimla hotel. For those seeking unique experiences, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised touch and can sometimes offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price appears to be on the higher end, we’ll suggest alternative dates that could help you secure a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Staying closer to major attractions or city centres can be convenient, but it often comes with a higher price tag. For more affordable options, consider hotels in less central areas or neighbourhoods, striking a balance between cost and accessibility to the sights you wish to see. You might also look into independent hotels located a bit further out, as they usually tend to be more affordable and can offer a more authentic experience.
