Ridge, Mall Road & Church
The Ridge is the most photographed wide-open street located on the side of Shimla Mall Road. The Ridge has everything, from shops selling some exclusive
artefacts to the spectacular view of the snow-capped mountain ranges. It is famous for a lot of things, but best known for shopping and for being the social hub of the city.
Shimla's rich past is evident from the Gothic buildings standing in this part of the town..
Shopping in Shimla revolves around the heart of the town- The Mall Road. One can shop for local handicrafts, shawls, woolens, exquisite jewelry etc.
Christ Church in Shimla is the second oldest church in all of India and is constructed in the Neo-Gothic style. It is located in the area known as The Ridge in Shimla and is a popular tourist spot apart from being a revered place of worship. Towards the night the church is lit up in a beautiful way, but during Christmas and Easter celebrations, it is decorated like a bride about to walk down the aisle..
