Heritage on a Gentle Slope

Taraview has passed the test of time. This heritage property in Shimla sits on a gentle slope among old trees, its four rooms each carrying a distinct character — colonial furniture, original fireplaces, and the kind of patina that only decades of mountain weather can produce.

The reception area carries the rich history of the building, and the gardens are a quiet reminder of Shimla before it became a city. From the terrace, the hills roll away in layers of green and blue, and the only sound is the wind in the deodars.
