KUFRI, HIMACHAL PRADESH , INDIA .

Snow at Kufri, Himachal PradeshKufri, a tiny hill resort in the southern part of Himachal, is situated quiet close to Shimla. Perhaps, it is for this reason that the history of Kufri is inextricably linked with that of Shimla. In earlier times, Shimla and its surrounding areas, including Kufri formed part of the Kingdom of Nepal. During this time, not much of attention was given to this area. However, things changed when the British discovered this region in 1819. They were mighty impressed by the fresh air and beauty around. Shimla gained the status of summer capital in 1864 and retained its enviable position till 1939. With Shimla gaining prominence, Kufri couldn't probably remain behind. Gradually, it made its position as 'an important place to visit near Shimla' secure.


As of today, all those visiting Shimla make it a point to visit Kufri. However, there are many who want to visit Kufri specially. This is primarily because of the umpteen adventure option available in and around Kufri. Moreover, the natural beauty of Kufri is heartening. So even if one doesn't want to indulge in adventurous activities, just roaming around and savouring the beauty is also quiet a delightful option.

Ideally Kufri can be visited anytime between April to June when it is pleasant. However, December to February is also a good time to visit and enjoy snowfall.
