Top 5 religious attractions of Shimla tour and trip to Goa

Shimla and Goa both are intensely scenic destinations. While Shimla tour is noted for its vividly beautiful hills, a trip to Goa beaches is always a mouth-watering experience, thanks to the candid panorama of Arabian Sea and wildlife. However, you may be surprised to learn that these two holiday locales also house some really marvelous religious spots.

Here are top 5 of such religious attractions which you must not miss out on:

i. Christ Church: Christ Church is one of the real wonders of Himachal Pradesh. Situated on Shimla’s Mall Road, this is a very pristine and old church which has a gothic look and a timeless appeal. The building is standing here since over a century and has a very infectious charm. Try to visit this place on a Sunday morning to take part in the prayers. Any good Shimla tour package will cover this attraction in its itinerary.

ii. Jakhu Temple: Another major attraction you must check out during your Shimla tour is the Jakhu Hanuman temple. Since its location is atop a mountain, it is a very photogenic place from where you can gaze admiringly at the vast horizon.

iii. Gurudwara Sahib: At Chail, you can visit the Gurudwara Sahib which is a deeply spiritual place built in 1907. It is one of the less visited attractions but do try to get it included in your Shimla tour package.

iv. Basilica of Bom Jesus: This is a very old church located in Goa and a definite must-visit for every tourist, whether Indian or foreigner. It is also counted as a heritage site.

v. Se Cathedral: Try visiting another holy church called ‘Se Cathedral’ during a trip to Goa. An old-world look and nostalgic feel will add to the spiritual ambience once you step inside its porch.

Similar to Shimla tour packages, Manali packages also get lured by nature lovers from across the country.
