The cedar covered slopes of Mashobra are a welcome getaway from the congested roads of Shimla town. Streams of cool water and temples make it a picture perfect destination. Even though it is being recognized only recently as a hill retreat it finds mention in Edward J. Bucks book Shimla past and present. It was here that the famous Shimla Agreement of 1972 was signed. Mashobra popularity grew by leaps and bounds among the jaded British high society, as India’s summer capital, thus resulting in blooming of several enchanting country homes and villas. Scattered in its lush forests are large estates belonging to some of India’s elite. |  mashobra |
