About Kufri
Kufri, at an altitude above Shimla, is a popular day-trip destination famed for snow in winter and panoramic mountain views year-round. It is a starting point for short treks such as Mahasu Peak, and offers activities like pony and yak rides, a small zoo (Himalayan Nature Park) and seasonal snow play. It gets busy in peak season, so an early start helps.
