One of the country's most popular tourist attractions Shimla is bustling with visitors ahead of Christmas and the New Year.

Three extra-services of the toy train, which is a major attraction for tourists here, have been started to accommodate the large number of people pouring in from across the country and abroad.

The historic Mall Road and Ridge of the town is buzzing with life as tourists loiter around the square basking in the sun and enjoying the scenic beauty of the region.

"On this Christmas, I will be away from my wife and my family, and for this reason I know that Shimla is a place where I can feel the traditional feeling. It is the spirit of people being together and wanting to enjoy the season. It's about togetherness," said Daniel Charles, a French tourist.

Christmas portals, with figures of Mary, Joseph, Melchor, Gaspar and Baltazar (the three wise men), the ox and the mule and baby Jesus were seen in churches across the town.
