“Just Wow. Beautiful… Amazing… Can simply frame it for ages,” commented a user. “Are you sure? I think this is an art, not a photo,” another user wrote.

Many users also responded to Solheim’s tweet saying that the photograph features the Clarkes Hotel on Mall Road.

With majestic mountains, serene waterfalls and adventurous sports, Shimla is a place travel buffs love to visit. Shimla is the former summer capital of the British and the spectacular destination allures visitors with its green hills and snow-capped peaks. Several structures constructed during the colonial era have been retained. The grand old buildings including Viceregal Lodge, charming iron lamp posts and Anglo-Saxon names add to its colonial heritage, according to the Shimla district website.

Solheim had earlier shared a photograph of a scenic cycling route in Karnataka’s Udupi. Some users, however, contested Solheim’s tweet saying that the route is not cycle-friendly.
