So called the
heart of Shimla, The Mall is the most attracting thing in the town.
The Mall is the centre of Shimla's buzzing social life. It is a
fairly level meandering esplanade that runs along the ridge. A fair
walk through The Mall is required to appreciate the beauty of
its shops, cafes, stores and restraunts.
