Currently, Shimla is one of India’s most bustling hill stations with visitors. It is a scenic destination to explore and enjoy a rejuvenating holiday at.

This picturesque destination in Himachal Pradesh welcomed a significant number of travellers this weekend. Shimla is a few hours’ ride away from many nearby states and this weather is indeed the best time to pack the bags and leave for this Himachal city. Not only from neighbouring places or different parts of India, but Shimla is also noticing a noteworthy number of foreign travellers as well.

The tourist footfall is seeing an uptick and the credit for this goes to the weekend and travel enthusiasts’ desire to take a break from the horrible heat. We all are aware of Shimla and its breathtaking natural beauty. Unfortunately, this hilly city witnessed a drop in visitors in the last couple of years because of COVID-19. A local shared how foreigners were not planning vacations in this place because of the pandemic, according to a report by Hindustan Times.

The tourism industry is quite optimistic this year seeing the rush in visitors from both India and abroad. The demand and surge in bookings indicate how the influx of visitors is about to increase further and positively impact several businesses and the overall hospitality industry. This incredible uptick in tourists is a humongous influence in making good revenues after a dull phase of 2 years.
