Top 8 Museums in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh
Snow-capped Himalayan peaks and green pastures surround Shimla, the capital of Himachal Pradesh. Enjoy a heritage walk through Shimla’s Victorian-era architecture, labyrinthine bazaars and lengthy pedestrian shopping mall. Don’t cause too much trouble taking in the town from Scandal Point, a large, open square; keep in mind that Shimla was a retreat destination for Mahatma Gandhi, who frequented a Georgian mansion in Shimla’s suburbs from the mid-1930s to '40s.

Though no entry fee is required, but a valid ID proof is required to enter this museum exclusively dedicated to Indian Army, with the timing being 10 AM to 5 PM.Opens all day except Monday & public holidays.Before entering the museum, the statue of eminent personnel & tanks are there outside the museum. Inside the museum, all things related to Indian Army are displayed in several rooms.No need for a guide, because near every display the description is there. The collection in this museum about Indian Army is so vast that you will not found something like this anywhere else. A souvenir shop is just outside the museum along with a café.Besides the army museum a small cactus museum is also there.

Glance and marvel at the collection of photos and pictures that belong to the British Raj Era in Shimla at this museum. The Shimla heritage museum is housed in a 120 year old heritage building itself, formerly known as the US Club
