With blue skies adorning its crown and endless lush hills sprawled as far as the eye can see, the striking facade of the Larisa Shimla can be seen from most parts of town. Away from the main hustle and bustle of the town center yet a quick drive away, the hotel stands imposingly, rising up from a bed of Himalayan Cedar.
The alluring town of Shimla, with its rich architecture and colonial roots make for a multitude of breathtaking activities and places of interest.
Showing off your skills at the open-air ice skating rink is one of the many things to do in Shimla during winters. The rink attracts thousands of people every year in search of an amazing ice skating experience. The ice is formed by a special technique that the British taught the Garhwali highlanders and the thickly forested hillside keeps it shaded and the low temperatures in winters prevent it from melting.
Being high up in the hills is also time for some exercise for the feet and lungs. The hiking trails are surrounded by greenery and the chirping of the birds keeps you company. It’s not about how far you can go, but how much you can enjoy it. The guide is not only an expert in hiking, but also tells you tales about the legends of these mountains. If you’ve come this far, what’s stopping you from going further?
There’s no better way to take in the winding roads and narrow trails of the Himalayas than on two wheels that can take you as far as you can pedal. You can opt for gentle slopes and cycle to the town and villages nearby or if you’re looking to really explore, there are plenty of intermediate trails that can test your mettle.
In the winters, once the snow has descended on these landscapes, the skiing lodge at Kufri opens up its doors for all. Kufri, the winter sports capital of Shimla, leaves each and every visitor splendid with its beautiful white cover of snow. It is a skier's paradise. From the first snowfall of the year to the time the snow melts it is flocked by hundreds of skiers. Skiing is Kufri's primary allure. The slopes, the heights, and the snowy carpet it offers are the most adventurous platforms for skiing.
Famous for its colonial architecture and rich history, Shimla has a certain regal air. Larisa Shimla takes this essence and beautifully crafts an experience that no other hotel can provide.
