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 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Shimla

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable times to visit Shimla are in February, August, and September, when hotel prices are generally lower. For a fulfilling experience of Shimla’s historical and cultural landmarks, as well as its stunning natural scenery, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is recommended. During your visit, you can explore various attractions including magnificent temples, lush forests, the scenic golf course, the prestigious university, and enjoy activities like ice skating, roller skating, and horseback riding. This budget-friendly trip offers great value for money, allowing you to immerse yourself in Shimla's rich heritage and breathtaking views.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals for hotels in Shimla, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where discounted rates may be available as your travel date approaches. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay informed about special promotions, ensuring you’re updated on price drops and room availability. Additionally, Smart Shopping is a convenient comparison tool in the app that allows you to assess hotel prices and amenities, helping you make the most informed choice. With these strategies, you could find flexible hotel deals in Shimla that fit your budget.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate due to various factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates could enable you to save on your stay at a hotel in Shimla. For those in search of distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and, at times, better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we will inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher side, we may suggest more economical dates, increasing the likelihood that you'll secure a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Staying closer to major attractions or city centres may offer convenience, but it often comes with higher costs. For more affordable options, consider hotels in less central areas or neighbourhoods, striking a balance between price and accessibility to the sites you intend to visit. You might also explore independent hotels located further out, which are more likely to be affordable and can provide a more authentic experience.
