Taxi Service in Shimla

Shimla has a constraint worth knowing before you book: the Mall Road and the Ridge are closed to vehicles. A cab will drop you at the nearest reachable point — usually the Victory Tunnel, the lift, or your hotel's road head — and the last stretch is on foot or by lift. Any driver who promises otherwise is going to disappoint you.
