Once upon a time, Shimla held great attraction for the officers of the British Raj and even became their summer capital. Today, it is still an attractive destination, not just for people from different parts of India but also the world.
Travellers to Shimla can choose to stay at one of its many resorts.
Cedar Heights
Cedar Heights is one of these beautiful resorts. It is located near Shimla district’s Kufri-Chail Road which is not too close to the main city. It is about 45 minutes drive from the central part of Shimla. This makes it a perfect getaway since what you get to see is not the large tourist crowds but snow-capped mountains and coniferous forests.
The magnificent views that this resort provides is largely due to the fact that it is located at an altitude of 7000 feet. Cottages with more than one bedroom and attached baths are available for accommodation. Suites are also available.
The staff at the resort can organise cycling and trekking expeditions if required. Horse riding can also be organised. Apart from these, a treadmill, a children’s play area and some indoor games are also provided at the resort.
Long walks through the surrounding areas can give one a glimpse of the local people, village life, the wild flowers and beautiful scenery of the region.
Snow King Retreat
This is another resort which is among the best of Shimla hotels. This is located at an altitude of no less than 9000 feet, at a place called Fagu Top. Prone to heavy snowfall, it provides its guests with a truly unique experience during winters. During summers, one can enjoy the cool mountain breeze and the forests that surround it.
A variety of different types of rooms are available here including honeymoon rooms with Jacuzzi. One can also choose between log, cane or bamboo huts. Villas with private gardens are also available. All the rooms are equipped with cable televisions, refrigerators and telephones.
The Snow View Revolving Bar and Restaurant at the resort provides a panoramic view of the surroundings, and is also equipped with a karaoke system and dance floor. The resort also has a special lounge dedicated to Bollywood’s own Raj Kapoor. All this ensures that there is no dearth of entertainment. The resort even has an array of indoor games, outdoor games and video games so that people of all age groups can be kept occupied.
Trekking and mountain biking facilities are available for nature lovers.
