Hotel overview

Enjoying spectacular views over virgin pine and cedar forests, Wildflower Hall sits 8250ft above sea level and is easily the most luxurious opinion in Shimla. Owned and run by Oberoi, the property was once the residence of Lord Kitchener. Today it still maintains its colonial grandeur; think teak wooden floors, hand knotted rugs, wood panelling and original artwork. The rooms are sumptuously adorned with luxurious fabrics, marble bathrooms and crisp white sheets. Everything at Wildflower Hall makes the most of the stunning views, from the heated outdoor pool to the restaurants, from the bubbling Jacuzzi to the luxuriant spa. This is one of India’s most impressive hotels and should not be missed. Please note Wildflower Hall doesn't accept children below the age of 10.

Excursion

Chambal River Bird Watching

The Chambal river banks are the ideal habitat for numerous migratory and resident birds. One can easily spot colonies of the rare Indian skimmer, greater thicknee, the comb duck, brahmani duck, bar-headed goose, spoonbill, herons, kingfishers, fishing eagles, flamingos, pelicans, cormorants and partridges. As you travel by small motorboat on the calm and placid Chambal waters you may also spot marsh crocodiles, numerous gharials (long-nosed fish eating crocodiles), turtles, and if particularly lucky, the very rare gangetic fresh water dolphin. Trained naturalists are on hand to help locate and identify the numerous species. The river safari is a unique experience, quite unlike any other game safari in India. The untamed ravines, wildlife, gently sloping fields and the sheer sense of solitude all combine to make this a great experience.

Excursion

Walking Tour of Shimla’s Ridge

Deep in the foothills of the Himalayas likes Shimla, one of India’s most famous hill stations that is strung out along a 12km ridge. Shimla was where much of Rudyard Kipling’s, Kim, took place. Your guided walking tour of Shimla starts from The Indian Institute of Advanced Studies. You will pass many other Raj era buildings such as the Shimla Club, The Oberoi Clarkes, Gaiety Theatre, The Mall, The Ridge, Gorton Castle (now office of The Accountant General), the State Museum of Himachal and finally ending the walk at the magnificent Indian Institute of Advanced Studies (otherwise known as the Viceregal Lodge). This is a fascinating tour and one that is best enjoyed on foot with an experienced guide. Your guide will introduce each building to you, giving an account of their individual history, designers, and notable occupants.
