This is the best part of town to explore the Shimla Town Centre and relive Past Era Shimla life: "Strolling through the bazaars and forest paths lined with oak, tall cedar trees and haunted houses while wearing thick coats and mufflers with an umbrella always in hand." This area gets more snow than any other part of Shimla during winters and is 4-5 degree cooler than most of Shimla during summers. Despite of being located in the main town the listing provides a fair amount of nature and scenery. The House is surrounded by deodar(mixed) forests of Jakhoo hill towards the East. On a clear day you get a view of the Holy Shrikhand Mahadev snow clad ranges towards the North. A variety of song birds frequent this place every morning.

So bring along your walking shoes, this is the best location to explore the city of walks, Shimla, on foot! AVOID BOOKING TEMPO TRAVELLERS OR BUSES AS THESE VEHICLES CANNOT ENTER CORE CITY AREA DURING DAYTIME (8 AM TO 8 PM). A 500 m (5 minutes) levelled walk, towards the right, through vehicle free markets takes you to the Ridge, Christ Church, Mall Road and Jakhoo Ropeway. A 800m hike would take you to Jakhoo Hill and Hanuman Temple, which is the highest point in Shimla at 2500m and has great scenic views. Towards left, from the gate, there are peaceful, scenic but safe forest walks, where everyone can experience walking through tall dark Cedar and Oak forests. A 2 km walk down hill or a Rs 250 cab takes you to the Railway Station. For a city exit for getting to Kufri, Narkanda, Naldhera, Mashobra and beyond, you can avoid the city traffic as we are closely connected to the Sanjauli By pass Road. You can sit in your car or taxi and exit the city in less than 15 minutes. (From most other popular locations near mall road this can take upto an hour or more). Vehicle use is not recommended unless you need to visit the countryside or the outskirts of Shimla. In the old town the streets are full of people walking, and vehicle use is restricted to public vehicles only. Using private vehicles is inconvenient and unsuited to the charm of the place. Most places of interest are easily and conveniently accessible on foot or by public transport even for elders and children. This place is ideal for gentle and peaceful groups traveling with elders and children. If you are a group that needs a place to party, smoke indoors, or to be loud then we have other places perfectly ideal for you! Please contact us.
