HOTEL COMBERMERE, SHIMLA- A TREAT FOR KIDS AND ELDERLY PEOPLE
Nothing beats stress better than a quick getaway in the lap of hills. For me, Shimla is that one place where I can relax, rejuvenate and rebound. This time around my place of choice was Combermere Hotel. Although I stayed only for one night yet I was completely myself here with the comforts.

It is suitable for kids as well as elderly members who have issues in walking from the car parking or bus stand. Given the terrain, it is a boon…trust me!
