Kufri

Some great Hiking, some skiing, some beautiful scenes and a cool environment
that's what Kufri is all about. It is famous for its trekking and hiking
trails. Adventure-seeking travelers throng Kufri in winters to enjoy skiing
and tobogganing along its snow-covered slopes. The Skiing season spreads
between November to February and the tourist inflow is at its peak during
winters.
Kufri is a tiny hill station located 19-kms from Shimla on the National
Highway No.22. It has a Himalayan Nature park and close by is the Indira
Tourist Park with HPTDC's Cafe Lalit. Indira Park provides some great
views of the nearby places. Here one can enjoy a Pony or a Yak Ride.
The region around Shimla including Kufri was once a part of the Kingdom
of Nepal. This region remained obscure from the rest of the world until
the British 'discovered' it in 1819. The British made Shimla their summer
capital in 1864 and it remained so until 1939. As Shimla gained importance,
Kufri also began to be recognized as an important place to visit near
Shimla.
