We take you for a Forest Walk in Shimla and a descent, wow. What else do you want to go? This Forest Walk offers some amazing views of the Great Himalayan Ranges from the starting point. The initial stretch of this Forest Walk is wide enough and leads you through a trail of mixed forest of cedars, oaks, Ravinia, horse chestnut, pines, and spruce trees.
The Walk
We shall walk down to the village bazaar where the real glimpses of the hill life remain scattered here and there. A shoemaker, a sweetmeat shop, a lady tailor, a few grocery shops, and a few taxi divers looking for some business from every outsider are the main features of the bazaar. There are a few old but big size houses built by the British in the area due to its isolation and the views. These houses now are used by Indian organizations or families.

Here a tiny structure of a temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva stands alone in the middle of the forest.
