Detailed Solution

In the 1860s, Shimla functioned as the recognised "India's Summer Capital".
Hill Station is a high-altitude city used for recreation, delight, and as a refuge from India's oppressive heat. Since India is a vast peninsula, its small bit of coastline experiences a continental climate with summer in most towns and districts, making it ideal for very hot hill stations (since they are located at high altitudes and experience low temperatures). A place to spend quality time with your family and partner during the summer vacation is recommended to avoid such hot and humid conditions. The largest mountain range, the Himalayas, which are found in the northern region of India, is one of the seven major mountain ranges on the Indian subcontinent.
