Station. It is famous for winter sports. This place is also full of lush
green hills. The region around Shimla including Kufri was once a part of
the Kingdom of Nepal. This region remained obscure from the rest of the
world until the British discovered it in 1819. The British made Shimla
their summer capital in 1864 and it remained so until 1939. As Shimla
gained importance, Kufri also began to be recognized as an important place
to visit. An annual winter sports festival is organized every year in the
month of February in Kufri, when skiing enthusiasts and adventure seekers
participate in this festival. There are plans to suspend tourist
operations. If there is snow, the slopes are suitable for beginners and
anyone with a decent plastic bag and a thick pair of trousers.
