Shimla – Inside Bollywood’s Favourite Background

Roccojones00118 Jan, 2021Travel

Shimla offers much more than charming colonial buildings against a backdrop of the magnificent snow-capped Himalayas. Much more than the dozens of Bollywood songs set on Mall Road or its oldest boarding schools. The upper reaches around the Shimla region offer skating on natural ice as well as hosts the MTB Himalaya (South East Asia�s biggest mountain biking race). Shimla also boasts ownership of the 16th century �Arya Astha Sahasrikas Prajna Paramita� Tibetan script (at the quaint Maria Brothers antique booksellers) and the Jakhu Temple Shrine with Lord Hanuman�s footprints.
