Tourists often talk about the weather,long walks on the mall, the food, or even the ladies, but it’s incredible how only a handful of people know about our incredible sunsets.
They probably haven’t seen any.

God was particularly kind to us Shimla-ites when he was bestowing his magical powers upon the hills. A Shimla sunset you spend with your friends or loved ones is truly unforgettable!

There are no rules on how many vivid shapes the clouds in a shimla sunset can take, but they’re almost always blissfully beautiful!

Sometimes the sunsets can get incredibly playful with the clouds and pose for us photographers! This is from Jaypee University near shimla.

Here’s another HDR shot of Shimla’s Panthaghati Area.But not all our sunsets are passive aggressive, to some there is a tremendous feeling of calmness and purity. Okay maybe I’m cheating here a little bit, maybe this isn’t a sunset, but I’m sure the sun must’ve been setting somewhere in the world while I took this!
