Why Shimla?
Before diving into what makes AVP Holidays special, let’s take a moment to appreciate why Shimla continues to captivate travelers year after year.

The town is dotted with colonial architecture, pine-covered hills, winding roads, and panoramic views that look like scenes from a postcard. Whether you’re walking down Mall Road, visiting Jakhoo Temple, or taking a toy train ride through the hills, Shimla exudes an old-world charm that’s hard to resist.
From snow-covered winters to pleasantly cool summers, Shimla is an all-season destination.
