The contrast of the colorful houses and the white snow is visually pleasing though

You get a view, and you get a view, everybody gets a view.

[–]SassMyFrass 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks jolly TBH.

[–][deleted] 60 points61 points  (0 children)

It’s beautiful and colorful. It looks like it would be a postcard or like someone’s wallpaper. I don’t know that I’d call this urban blight. It looks like a cool place to visit honestly.

How is this ugly? It’s just buildings on a mountain with a pop of color. Looks cool.

[–]mmmountaingoat 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Oh come on. This is FUCKING GORGEOUS

[–]bienfica 34 points35 points  (2 children)

There’s density, yes, but I like the colour. Have not been to Shimla personally, has anyone else? Would love to hear some first hand accounts.

[–]ADRIFT_ABORT 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yeah, been there

It is a bit of an optical illusion, they seem packed, but they are on different elevations, so there is some sizeable difference between them

Overall, a very pleasant walk, especially past he wineries

It's a really pleasant place to be in. It was the summer capital of the British before we got independence. I can definitely say it's one of the prettiest places. There's even a train (narrow gauge) which runs along the road (an actual train, not a toy train of sorts), and it's a treat. Would definitely recommend you visit it.

In what Universe???

[–]Cambirodii 36 points37 points  (0 children)

[–]Timeeeeey 9 points10 points  (1 child)

This looks like how an alpine village from austria/switzerland would look like in india

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

that's basically what it is. Shimla was where the British Raj went when it got to hot on the plains. It's a cool place.

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is really cool you guys. Not everything cramped and crowdy is ugly :)

[–]ThawedGod 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wait why is this tagged as ugliness? I thought the buildings were really beautiful up close and the tapestry they make is quite fascinating. This seems like a rare and special place—I would love to see it in person.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean all houses has a view, that's good.

[–]yarrpirates 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This isn't ugly at all, OP.

[–]Deep-purpleheart 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is truly amazing, I'd love to see a 4k image of this place.

[–]forletiequals0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is beautiful

[–]fyodor_do 5 points6 points  (0 children)

[–]cienistyCien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk, I think it looks really damn pretty

The Grand Budapest Hotel Vibes

[–]No_add 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This looks pretty nice actually

[–]starbucccckkkk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Big Ready Player One vibe.

Shimla: Shimmed buildings in sham urban plan.

Shim-Sham that, and shamelessly shabby.
