Shimla is situated in the Shivalik range of Himalayas.For- Honeymooner’s, its like a paradise. Shimla is the ideal place for " Romance in snow".

Shimla is a wonderful place to visit. I had been to Shimla with my wife. One can plan-Shimla, Kullu, Manali. Delhi, Agra tour if one is having 10-14 days of holidays.
For honeymoon couples, "Kesari tours" Pune arranges very well planned tours
It is very important to check whether hotels have "centralised heating system" or no because it will be very cold. temperatures will be anything between 4 - 0 deg celsius especially in Jan-Feb
During Jan-feb , there is always a possibility of snowfall. During heavy snowfall, you will not be allowed to visit some points as it is risky
Climate
During winter, it is very cold. Temperatures are in the range 0~15 o C in winter and 15-25o in summer .
If one plans to visit in December to Feb, it will be very cold. So get enough warm woolen clothes. Pullovers are ideal. One should wear cap to cover ears. One should wear sports shoes and not leather shoes.
There are many good hotels available. These are either 3 or 5 star or other types of hotels. Its very important to see whether hotel is having central heating system or no before booking otherwise one feels very uncomfortable due to extreme cold.
If advanced booking is done, it is an additional advantage as one gets discount and one is assured about stay.
