Workation in Shimla: the essentials
The British made Shimla their summer capital in 1864 and spread it across seven spurs of the Himalayan foothills, at about 2,200 m. It remains a working city, the state capital of Himachal Pradesh and its centre of commerce and education, with Tudor-style buildings along the pedestrianised Ridge and Mall Road. The narrow-gauge railway from Kalka, part of a UNESCO site, is the scenic way up. Steep, largely car-free lanes make everyday errands tiring, domestic tourists pack the town in May and June, and water shortages and landslides have hit it in recent years. Shimla Airport is about 10 km away with limited flights.
