If you are planning a trip to Shimla, a trip to Trishool is incomplete without a bite of their signature dish, the spoonie pastry, aloo patty, and hazelnut coffee!

Here are some other iconic bakeries in Shimla to get a taste of on your next trip to the hills:

Krishna Bakery

Serving some of the best local Himachali dishes the hill station has to offer, Krishna Bakery’s pastries, dimsums, stuffed kulchas, butter rolls and fruit cakes are a must-try.

City Point Bakery

One of the very few bakeries in town to accept only cash payments, City Point offers fresh cream rolls and decadent pastries that make for the perfect accompaniment to your evening stroll and tea in the cold weather.

You must also not miss out on a joyride on the iconic Kalka–Shimla Toy Train, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Opened to the public since 1903, this narrow-gauge railway winds through the Shivalik foothills, offering beautiful views as it climbs toward Shimla, often referred to as the “Queen of Hills.” The approximately five-hour trip covers 96 km and passes through 102 tunnels and over 800 bridges.

Declared a UNESCO Heritage Site, the train passes through pine-covered hills and historic colonial stations, such as Barog and Dharampur. In winter, snow covers the rooftops, and forests turn white, making the surrounding views ideal for photography enthusiasts.
