Perched at an elevation of 8,600 feet (2,622 meters) above sea level, Kufri is a renowned hill retreat situated 16 kilometers east of Shimla in Himachal Pradesh. Founded in 1819 by the British as a summer outpost, the town derives its name from 'kufr', meaning a mountain lake in the local dialect.
During the winter season between December and February, heavy snowfall turns the slopes into a vibrant skiing playground where annual winter sports festivals take place. Mahasu Peak, the highest point in Kufri, offers horse trails through dense deodar forests leading to panoramic viewpoints overlooking the Badrinath and Kedarnath mountain ranges.
Families and wildlife enthusiasts explore the Himalayan Nature Park, home to rare high altitude fauna including the Himalayan Monal, musk deer, snow leopards, and brown bears. Adventure amusement parks like Kufri Fun World operate the highest go kart track in the world along the mountain ridge.
