Jakhoo Hill

Jakhu Hill at 2,455 metres is the highest natural summit within Shimla town, crowned by the ancient Jakhu Hanuman Temple and the towering 33-metre Hanuman statue that dominates the Shimla skyline from every direction. The forested trail winding up through ancient deodars is a beloved morning trek offering wildlife encounters with langurs, Himalayan birds, and occasional leopard sightings. Jakhu Hill Shimla provides the most comprehensive bird's eye view of the entire Shimla town, the Himalayan ranges, and on clear days the snowy peaks of Himachal Pradesh and beyond.
