Experience
The best time to stay at The Wildflower Hall, Shimla is during the Indian Summer. We were there in September and the weather was still wonderful. On a cold day, you can sit in the outdoor Jacuzzi; on a sunny and cool afternoon, enjoy high tea in the lawn; and on a warm crisp morning, take a sedate ride on Wildflower Hall's two gorgeous ex race bred horses. For the more adventurous the resort offers white river rafting, trekking, mountain biking, ice skating (in winter) and golf.
