Your visit to Shimla is not complete without visiting a Heritage Home, because when you think of Shimla you think of the British and their Heritage Homes.  They built these houses and resided in them for most of their life or some were here even after the Indian freedom. And then they sold these Heritage Homes to the rich Indian families who are still using them, either as their summer houses or their permanent homes.

Let us take you to a Heritage Home in Shimla from the Raj and take you back to the bygone era. Thick woods surround this House, and it offers excellent sunset. This Heritage Home still holds the old ambiance with its English Garden around and antique furniture inside. The high doors, grand windows, high ceilings, and thick walls play a vital role in making this house a colonial house.

They serve you drinks with Bar-be-Que while you sit around the bonfire wrapped in your shawl or thick coat. The chef serves hot snacks from the tandoor. This brings a dreamlike experience to your life.

Program

Your Evening in a Colonial Home

Leave from your hotel at around 6.00 PM and reach the Heritage Home in Shimla by 6.30 PM. The name of this Heritage Home is Groom Bridge and is located in the spur of Bharari, below the police parade ground.

This Heritage Home is the ancestral home of Mr. Vijay Suri. His grandfather Mr. Bikram Chand Sawhney, a senior civil servant, gave this house to his daughter and then she gave it to her son, Vijay.  Originally a Railway Engineer, Herbert Mantague Waller had built this house in 1895. You enter the house and you enter a different world. Lovely garden around the house welcomes you. They have decorated the sitting room with antique furniture and paintings. Their presence provides a different feel and you start thinking of the past. 

Groombridge Cottage

During the Raj, the Brits built a number of houses in Shimla, and in the other hill stations. Groombridge is one of them.  This Heritage Home is a marvel example of British architecture. Bharari is an extended ridge that bifurcates towards the north of Shimla and sprouts from Elisiyum hill, the second-highest hill of the town. The area has many age-old houses, some abandoned and some still inhabited.

Bar-be-Que and Dinner

After an amazing experience in this colonial bungalow, proceed for a sit-down biryani dinner with the host. You are welcome to walk into the kitchen where your meal is being prepared. Or just enjoy the warm hospitality of Vijay and listen to his hilarious jokes as well.
