“Great Place for Strolling and Shopping.”
The Mall is the main road of Shimla, and all kinds of shops are located here. There are shops that sell clothes, woollens, jewellery, books, handicrafts and even some furniture shops, which sell antique pieces from the British era. There are many hotels and restaurants located on the Mall Road.
The Mall is free of any vehicular traffic as they are banned on this road so you can walk carefree. Many locals and tourists come for an evening stroll. At one end of the mall is the Ridge which is the high point of Shimla. There a junction on the road known as the ‘Scandal Pont’. There is a statue of Lala Lajpat Rai here, as well as the office of the Himachal Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation, where we got information about the popular tourist places.
We found that the easiest way to get to the Upper mall from the Lower Bazaar was to use the Lifts. We had to buy a Rs.10 ticket and wait our turn in a queue. The first lift dropped us at a middle level from where we had to take a second lift. On our return we walked down through the narrow alleyways from Scandal Point.
