Shimla Tourist Places: If you want to enjoy adventure in the winter season, then prepare to go to Shimla. Shimla’s historic ice skating rink, which is the oldest natural ice skating rink in Asia, has been reopened once again this winter. This rink was established in 1920, which is located near Lakkar Bazaar. This place is a major center of attraction not only for the local people but also for the tourists during the winter season. This time, due to cold and clear weather, it has been opened early, due to which a lot of enthusiasm is being seen among skating lovers.
Shimla Ice Skating Club has officially launched it after successful trials. This rink depends entirely on natural conditions, where clear and cold nights are necessary for ice to form. This season, the club has planned to start morning as well as evening skating season, which is making it more exciting.
Major center of tourist activity
This rink is a major center of cultural heritage and tourist activity of Shimla. Special events like Christmas and New Year carnival take place here every year. However, there are challenges to its preservation due to climate change and nearby construction, but the club and the local people are not afraid about its future, as they believe that not everyone will be able to take care of it.
