Activities at Woodville Palace and in and around Shimla

Woodville offers a number of activities for its guests. The palace hotel has the facilities for Billiards, Table Tennis and Badminton for sports lovers. Woodville also has an extensive library for the avid reader to peruse at leisure.

For those close to nature, Woodville is the ultimate holiday destination. We have our own private deodar and pine forests, which are home to rare species of flora and fauna. Walk into these forests and you will find the air filled with the musical sound of rare birds serenading nature. The sprawling rose-scented lawns and gardens remain unrivalled in Shimla in their beauty and the relaxation they offer.

The walk from Woodville towards the Raj Bhawan is a real treat for nature lovers. On the way, you can see lush green forest blazing with Rhododendrons. The juice of rhododendrons, easily available in Shimla, is divine and otherwise very rare.

Shimla also offers a number of outdoor activities that can be easily accessed from Woodville Palace.

Trekking Shimla to Kullu over the Jalori Pass (3300mt above sea level) and the Bashleo Pass (3250m above sea level) and from Sarahan to Sangla are some popular treks conducted by local guides and mountaineering institutes.
