Simla (also known as Shimla) is the mountainous and geologically beautiful, hillside town that was both the former summer capital of (British) India and former capital of Punjab. Although filled with delightful colonial architecture, the town is also surrounded by 7 hills, and the stunning scenery is depicted here, with just the faintest trace of civilization depicted through the lights visible on the mountainside.
