About Christ Church in Shimla

Christ Church in Shimla is the second oldest church in all of India and is constructed in the Neo-Gothic style. It is located in the area known as The Ridge in Shimla and is a popular tourist spot apart from being a revered place of worship. Towards the night the church is lit up in a beautiful way, but during Christmas and Easter celebrations, it is decorated like a bride about to walk down the aisle. Midnight mass is also held here, and prayer services are held in both Hindi and English.

Architecture of Christ Church

With its Neo-Catholic style, the architecture of Christ Church is quite glorious in appearance. The most striking features of this architectural marvel are its windows, which are decked with brass plaques and colored glasses. Moreover, these windows represent hope, faith, charity, patience, humility, and fortitude. Besides that, the 90 feet towers, five tubular bells, and a clock are also quite an attraction.

History of Christ Church

As a huge flock of Britishers and Anglo-Indians, who were followers of Christianity, were residing in Shimla during the British Raj, thy requested the government to build a church. Hence, the construction of the Christ Church in Shimla started in the year 1846. And, it took around 11 years to erect this Christ Church in Shimla. Since then, it became a prime attraction to explore in Shimla.

Christ Church Library

While, as the church is decorated with lights at night, it looks even more stunning. Apart from that, there is the Christ Church Library located next to the church. Constructed by James Ransome in the year 1910, this library boasts an amazing collection of books and ancient scriptures.

People who visit Christ Church in Shimla can take somewhere from 1 to 2 hours to explore it. The church has a beautiful vantage point from where there are several gorgeous views available to gloat over. There are a plethora of other attractions also, so as to let people spend some blissful time there.

Vpmunjal's 4 days trip to Shimla

Everything is good except that before finalizing the package, its details must be made crystal clear. The client should not be expected to read the fine print. In my case, we had been told that we would be provided with Innova ac cab but did not specify about the seating capacity. As a result it w

as very uncomfortable as we had to be on the road for 10 hours, I had asked for including sightseeing of our choice within a radius of 45 km from our hotel. This was overlooked and sightseeing was decided without our concurrence. This resulted in the cab driver asking for extra payment for one additional sight that we visited.

Jitesh's 6 days trip to Shimla

Journey from New Delhi to Shimla at night was very dangerous, as we followed some interior village route from Delhi to Haryana due to farmer protest. Please don't plan late night journey for other couples in future. Cab and the driver was very good. Shimla hotel was not up to the mark. Manali hotel

was good. Overall, considering all points, I say my trip was memorable. *Include some adventure activities in your trip, it will help to get good feedback*. Adventure activities we performed in Shimla, Kulku Valley and Manali.

Sarvesh Prabhu

Bengaluru

Sarvesh's 8 days trip to Shimla

Our himachal trip in feb last week was very good. All hotels were good and food was excellent. Travel agent Meenakshi was very good. I asked for changes in the itinerary multiple times and also asked for change in the hotel multiple times and she politely and patiently worked on all the changes. Cab

and driver Raj Patyal was very good. Couple of minor issues.. 1. Kamna Hill Resort in Shima was exceptional in terms of hospitality, view and food but the location was not that great. The location is far from mall road and the road is also not good. Our driver was from shimla so he was able to understand the instructions from hotel reception otherwise it would have been a nightmare to reach this place. Even the driver was frustrated with the location of this hotel. 2. Snow Peak Retreat in Manali did have a balcony but there was no privacy or view. The balcony was facing the hotel. From the balcony we could only see other rooms and their balconies. There was no mountain view from the balcony. 3. While booking the package, travel agent Meenakshi had convinced me that cab will be from their company and not from any third party vendor but of course that was not true. One day before the start of the trip there was some confusion as to who exactly our driver will be. Initially one driver had called but later someone else told me that he will not be my driver. Then another person called. When I asked him his car number he said he will not come but his brother will come. Ultimately the mess was sorted out and luckily the driver who showed up turned out to be good and the trip went very well.
