Summer Hill is a quaint suburb of Shimla, nestled in the Himachal Pradesh state of India. It is perched on a hill, 2,123 meters above sea level, and is part of the seven-hill cluster forming Shimla. This picturesque suburb offers panoramic views of the valleys and distant hillscapes. Often blanketed in light snow during winters, it presents a serene environment with lush green foliage in the monsoons.

The area is also home to the Himachal Pradesh University, adding a vibrant educational and cultural scene to the place. The quaint railway station of Summer Hill falls on the Kalka-Shimla rail route which is a UNESCO World Heritage site, drawing railway enthusiasts and tourists alike.
