"Asia’s Only Open-Air Ice Skating Rink"

Ice Skating, Shimla Overview

Ice Skating is a famous sport in the beautiful city of Shimla. The Shimla Ice Skating Rink is well-known because it is a naturally formed rink found in the town and is also the largest and the only naturally formed rink found in South Asia. It draws not just the locals but tourists from across the globe.

The rink has been used for sports and recreational activities since 1920. The Ice Skating Club of Shimla maintains and enthusiastically host national level competitions and the annual carnival.

Global warming and an increase in urbanisation are said to be causing a decrease in the events as it affects the ice formation in this naturally formed ice skating rink. The number of events arranged here is dependent on the weather and the ice conditions, but the popularity of the rink is unmatched. The experience of indulging in a sport at the foothills of the Himalayas is a breathtaking one.

Must Know Before You Visit Ice Skating
