Its true that shimla is a heart of himachal pradesh.its not only heart but its also a nerve and sentiment of himachal.it has gone through various up/down historical phases thats why old and beautiful buildings are the live example.A journey by toy train from Kalka to Shimla is a altogether a different exciting experience.Earlier name of shimla wasshyamlaand slowly-slowly it has become shimla.Mal road is heart of shimla.Churches are the main attraction of this city.Gaity theatre, Vaisrigal lodge, Jakhu hill, Kufri, Naldehra are some well known spots .shoping in the evening has different charm.I recommend every one to visit this place at least once in life.
