Shimla is a year-round destination due to its pleasant climate, but the best time to visit The Ridge in Shimla is from March to June. These months constitute the summer season in Shimla and offer comfortable temperatures varying between 15°C and 30°C. This is an ideal time for sightseeing, trekking, and indulging in outdoor activities as the weather is neither too cold nor too hot. Tourists can enjoy the panoramic views of the Himalayan range, walk around The Ridge, and explore nearby attractions such as The Mall, Christ Church, and Jakhoo Hill without any weather constraints.
Another suitable period to visit The Ridge is during the autumn months of September to November. Post-monsoon, Shimla sheds its lush green coat for golden hues and clearer skies, making it a photographer's delight. The temperatures range from 10°C to 20°C, which makes for a refreshing and comfortable visit. During this time, the tourist crowd is less dense, thus providing a more peaceful experience. Moreover, the Shimla Autumn Festival sometimes falls during this period, which could offer additional cultural events to experience.
