Viceregal Lodge

    One of the most important historical sites in Shimla, the British India summer capital, is Viceregal Lodge, also called Rashtrapati Niwas. The British Viceroys lived in this splendid palace, which was built in 1888. The Viceregal Lodge is a monument to India's rich heritage and a wonder of colonial architecture, nestled within beautiful gardens and encircled by the breathtaking Himalayas. It is now a well-known tourist destination and a division of the Indian Institute of Advanced Study (IIAS).
