Kufri, Shimla Overview
Kufri is a hill station about 13 km from Shimla, higher and quieter than the main town. It's built around snow and adventure: skiing on the slopes in winter (roughly November to March), pony rides up to Mahasu Peak, a small Himalayan wildlife zoo with animals like the monal pheasant, and one of the highest go-karting tracks in the world at Kufri Fun Campus. Most visitors treat it as a half-day trip from Shimla rather than an overnight stay.
However, Kufri too is becoming increasingly popular with the visitors, especially due to the zoo here. One must visit Kufri's zoological park which is famous for having rare species of Antelopes, Felines, Bears and birds including Himalayan Monal, which is the state bird of Himachal Pradesh.
Mashru peak is the highest point here and one can reach by trekking upto that point. Otherwise, Kufri itself is very cold and is used as a ski ground during winters. There are accommodation options also available here. Wildflower Hall is also located nearby.
