This historic complex deserves a lot more attention and visitors. It’s situated bang on the Mall Road in Shimla and so its extremely convenient to get there. Once you enter, you’ll be greeted by Mr Gautam who has extensive knowledge about the history of this theatre. Walk in along with him, admire the Victorian architecture and feel a part of history for a few minutes. Walk on the stage where great artists have stepped before and then move on to the balcony area. There is a gallery of pictures showing old plays at the theatre and detailing its restoration before the exit. Truly an iconic complex to be proud of.

Great architecture, kids enjoyed alot due to its resemblance with hogward magic school, but truly a marvel of Scottish architecture. This is Indian Institute of Advance Studies aka viceregal lounge( British era name) that selects only few scholars in the field of humanity and social sciences who reside there and that too without any faculty ,for independent research. Building is partially allowed for common people with 200 rs tickets for adults and 100 for kids .Only 3 halls can be visited , most lavish is the hallway near stairs , wood work is just amazing and so massive .Garden and outskirts are so beautifully created that features this place so distinct so one can easily believe the place is not in India or magical like hogwards of India. A Must visit place that is amazing for kids as well as adults..

A beautiful place to hike near Shimla, its a easy trek and families can also go here. Do carry lots of water with you as there is no source of water en-route. On a clear day you can see the mountains all around and its a good place for photography.
