What is the best time to visit Shimla?

Shimla is a hill station located in a temperate rather than a tropical one. Therefore, the weather here is consistent, and seasons transition smoothly. Summers usually see a lot of tourists seeking relief from the heat at the hill station. Winter attracts crowds in the same way because of the snow. Many travelers arrange their trips to see Shimla covered in snow in late December, during the Christmas and New Year holidays. Thus, the peak season is between March to June and December to January.
