Last month we visited Mashobra, a very small town which is located a few kilometres ahead of Shimla. Its a beautiful and peaceful place, away from all the hustle bustle of a city. The weather was awesome in September, with a mix of clouds, sun and a little drizzling at times. There are very few resorts in this place. We stayed in Club Mahindra resort and had a good experience over there. Another good place to stay is Marigold resort.
The road which leads to Mashobra is not very broad and the turns are mostly blind. So one has to be very careful and slow while driving there, specially if its raining.
Shimla and some other places like Kufri and Naldhera are very approachable from Mashobra, so one can easily plan a day trip to all these places. Make sure you are geared up with your sport shoes and some warm clothes as always there is a lot of walking on the hilly places and it tends to become colder towards the evening even if there is strong sun in the afternoon. the weather always remain unpredictable at such places.
The mall road of Shimla has a charm of its own. I have been going to Shimla since my childhood and have been there umpteen times but still I know that place is going to attract me again in future. Ofcourse one reason is also that the highway leading to Shimla is superb. On the mall road do not miss going to United coffee house which serves good food at very affordable prices and also the Gulab Jamuns from Baljees. Else you can find all kind of fast food chains there like Dominos, Pizza hut, KFC etc.
If you want to indulge in shopping, you can find some very good vest coats and jackets there. The quality is good there. If you just want to roam around don't miss going to the ridge and indulge into some horse riding and the very famous skating rink if definitely not to be missed.
