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. Consider your location: Opting to stay near key attractions or city centres may offer convenience, but it often comes with higher costs. For more affordable rates, you might consider hotels in less central areas or neighbourhoods, striking a balance between price and ease of access to the places you wish to visit. You could also look into independent hotels a bit further out, which are usually likely to be more affordable and can provide a more authentic experience.
