THE RIDGE, SHIMLA is actually a very large open street situated along the popular Mall road of Shimla. And when you are here, for a while you will not feel like you are in India. You would feel like you are in some other country like Europe or in London because the buildings here are of the British era. And you all must be knowing that Shimla had been the British summer capital once long back.
You can see visitors spending a lot of peaceful merry time walking along the streets of the Ridge with their family or loved ones. The place is pleasant, the views are fantastic and the whole atmosphere is very happening. The day time look, the evening look, and even the night view is amazing. The most preferred timing for visiting this place would be during the sunset time as the view of the sunset from this view point at Ridge is simply mesmerizing.
Standing at the Ridge you can easily get a whole view of the beautiful Shimla town spread along the hills. And on one hill top you would find a big Hanuman statue right on top of the Jakhoo hills. That is the famous Jakhoo temple that you would see.
The place Ridge is something very unique. You wont find any rickshaw, auto, cars, buses, cycles or any form of public transport over here. And that is one the biggest reasons as to why and how people of all ages come and enjoy the beautiful walk here on the streets so peacefully.
You would find a beautiful big sized Indian flag waving high right here with the cool winds. It looks really patriotic and beautiful. Apart from this you will find that here at Ridge you get a beautiful viewpoint for Shimla. So simply enjoy the view from here. You will of-course feel very much relaxed and rejuvenated as you walk along the streets of the Ridge and around this beautiful Indian flag waving high with the air.
Ridge is something like a central point for Shimla and it connects most of the major places of Shimla like the Mall, the Jakhoo hills, the Lakkar bazar, Snowdon , Christ church and many more. You can also find a statue of Dr. Y S Parmar, the Founder of Himachal standing right here at the Ridge.
The evening and night view of this place and Shimla is simply amazing and worth exploring at least once in your lifetime. The sparkling, twinkling light on the hills make The Ridge and overall Shimla such a beautiful place to explore and enjoy.
The months of April to June are considered to be one of the most preferred seasons to visit Shimla or nearby places as during this time the weather is clear and cool. You would be able to see the clear lush green mountains all around you. The beauty of the green valleys and the cooling temperature during summers makes this place a preferred choice for spending your holidays at the Himachal.
With love,
Simmi
