The Promenade in Shimla

One of the best places to spend the evening in Shimla is the Mall road.  Vehicles are not allowed on the road.  You can approach it by any vehicle (shared taxis or private vehicles) or walk up the narrow alleys flanked by shops of all kinds.  We chose to do bit of trekking and walked up.  If you are healthy person, it will take only about 15 minutes to reach the Mall from the old bus stand. The views from the Mall are delightful and grand.  Below are some pictures.  Way to the Mall Another view on the way The ascent lands you right in front of the Town Hall The antique and the contemporary coexist symbiotically In fact, the Tommy Hilfiger showroom is on the ground floor which did not attract me since it looked like any of today's showrooms anywhere.   Inside the Christ Church Stained glass windows of the Church Earlier the Christ church had on its walls elegant frescoes designed by J Lockwood Kipling, father of Rudyard Kipling and principal of Mumb
