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.

We had a nice family time while walking through the mall road & the ridge. It has everything, a family needs to have quality time together, good street food, variety of shops, horse riding, nice views for those cool selfies, those heritage buildings, cafes, bakeries etc. Best part is that vehicular movement is not allowed, that makes it even better to just walk around. The whole place is clean too, overall it's good to be there and just spend some time together.

The climb can be quite high in certain places - especially with the steps. There is a more scenic route as well - with less height but takes longer - is a much nicer walk. The temple is filled with monkeys so be careful of your belongings
