Annandale is a famous tourist spot in the majestic city of Shimla, the state capital of Himachal Pradesh, India. Located at a distance of approximately 3 kilometers from the heart of Shimla, Annandale is nestled within the depths of a deep valley in the suburban village of Kaithu. This flat terrain was once the playground for the British, who used it for racing, polo, cricket, and as a heli-pad. Surrounded by a thick cover of deodar trees and pine forests, Annandale offers a cool and pleasant atmosphere. This scenic spot is spread over a large area and is a popular location for picnics, sporting activities, and for enjoying the tranquil beauty of Shimla. Over the years, Annandale has also become a hub for army activities, and houses the Army Heritage Museum, which showcases various artifacts and insights into the Indian Army's glorious history. The green expanse of Annandale is a visual delight and is essential for anyone seeking solace from the bustling town life.
