Located in a beautiful and serene surrounding, it offers lush green view and wide range of flora and fauna. I did a morning run from mall road to this place and was mesmerized by the atmosphere and peace it blessed me with.
Nice place to visit with your friends and family members. It is in the middle of beautiful forest so nature lovers would really enjoy the time that they spend here. Just make sure that you are carrying an ID card because you can asked to show it to the army men at the entrance.
You should visit here. An awesome museum, A Helipad is attached along the place. Take a Cab to visit. I will take 30mins to reach from Mall Road

Well organized army museum at Annadale, though small but good, with one adjoining golf course & a green house. There is a helipad too. Views of valleys are also good. Worth visiting while in Shimla.
Annadale was first used by East India Company and then the British Raj, which is why natives originally called it "Company Ka Baag". It was a place of enjoyment and entertainment for the British, offering fancy dress shows, picnics, and birthday celebrations. Every year a National Championship of Polo was organised there.[5] Cultural and social festivals were organised there including Gymkhana, fete champetre and sports such as polo and cricket. Under the British Army, the grounds were also used for training and parades.[5] A funfair was organised in September 1833 to raise funds for setting up a school at Sabathu for native girls. In 1839, the first Fancy fair was organised there
