Kufri, located at a distance of 16km from the main city of Shimla, is a popular tourist destination known for snow-laden peaks, skiing and Kufri Zoo. The main tourist part of Kufri is located on Mahasu peak at a height of 2,720 metres above sea level and travellers have to either hike or take a pony from the parking lot to reach Kufri. Mahasu Peak and Fagu Valley are the main attractions in Kufri but are accessible via pony ride. Once you reach the top after a pony ride, you would want to enjoy your time playing with snow or clicking photographs. There are a few photo points and the view makes up for the climb. You can also enjoy go-karting at the Kufri Fun World, which has the highest Go-Karting track in the world. You can come back to the parking lot by a pony and head to the Indira Tourist Park by afternoon after grabbing some lunch. Or you can also head to Kufri Zoo from there. Kufri along with Chail are generally covered by most tourists visiting Shimla and are covered in most Shimla packages. Other destinations close to Kufri and Shimla are Narkanda, Mashobra, Tattapani & Naldehra.
