Day 2: Panoramic Peaks & Forest Trails:

Morning: Take the scenic Jakhu Temple Ropeway or hike up to Jakhoo Hill, Shimla's highest peak. Explore the Hanuman Temple and marvel at its giant 108-foot statue. Avoid carrying loose snacks, as local monkeys are highly active.

Afternoon: Visit the Himalayan Nature Park in Kufri to see native high-altitude wildlife like leopards, musk deer, and Himalayan bears. If visiting in the winter, you can try snow-skiing or sledging here.
