“Iconic Landmark of Shimla.”
As we walked along the Mall in Shimla we could see the famous Christ Church at the end of an open wide promenade known as The Ridge of Shimla. It is the place where all the cultural activities and events are held. Tourists as well as locals congregate here in the evenings to enjoy the open air and mountain scenery while strolling or relaxing on the benches. There is an atmosphere of gaiety and festivities as it is the most happening place in Shimla.
We saw the statues of Mahatma Gandhi, Indira Gandhi and Y.S. Parmar, the first Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh as we strolled around. On one side there is an open balcony from where we got a beautiful view of the distant Himalayan ranges which get covered with snow in the winters.
Very few tourists, standing on the Ridge, may be aware that below their feet are the water reservoirs that supply drinking water to the city of Shimla. These water tanks were built here during the British era.
A walk along the promenade from the Mall to the Ridge is a must if you happen to visit Shimla. This place is also free from all vehicular traffic so one can walk carefree.
