In the heart of the ‘British Summer Capital’ – Shimla – lies The Ridge, the most photographed sprawling street on Shimla Mall Road. The Ridge offers everything from shops with exclusive artifacts to spectacular views of the snow-capped mountain ranges. Best known for its shopping and as the social hub of the city, the Ridge still holds Shimla’s rich past in its Gothic buildings and prehistoric architecture.
The street is lined with cafes, bars, boutiques, shops, and restaurants that attract many visitors to the famous Mall Road. It runs east to west along the side of Mall Road, connecting it to the famous Scandal Point at the western end. At the eastern end, it connects to Lakkar Bazaar, the most famous market for wooden handicrafts in Shimla.
