Simla Travel Guide

India

Simla is a hill city in northern India with a population of 173,503. Its setting in the Himalayan region gives it a cooler mountain climate than India’s lowland cities, with noticeable seasonal changes.

Travellers arriving by air use Simla Airport, the airport serving the city. Simla is inland and has no notable beaches within 40 kilometres, so trips here are focused on the hill-country setting rather than coastal attractions.
