This article is about the hill in Abbottabad, Pakistan. For the city in Himachal Pradesh, India, see [Shimla](/source/Shimla).

**Shimla Hill**, also known as **Shimla Pahari**, is a hill, viewpoint and urban green space in [Abbottabad](/source/Abbottabad), [Khyber Pakhtunkhwa](/source/Khyber_Pakhtunkhwa), Pakistan. The Abbottabad district administration lists Shimla Hill among attractions in the district and gives the distance from Abbottabad to Shimla Hill as 2.3 km (1.4 mi).[1] The [Pakistan Tourism Development Corporation](/source/Pakistan_Tourism_Development_Corporation)'s Galyat brochure describes Shimla Hill as being in the middle of Abbottabad city and as a viewpoint over Abbottabad valley.[2]

## Tourism and recreation

The [Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Culture and Tourism Authority](/source/Khyber_Pakhtunkhwa_Culture_and_Tourism_Authority) lists the Shimla Hill viewpoint among places worth visiting in and around Abbottabad.[3] The hill is used as a local viewpoint and recreational area because of its position above the city.

## Redevelopment

A 2025 report by the [International Institute for Sustainable Development](/source/International_Institute_for_Sustainable_Development) described a redevelopment project for Shimla Hill Park under the name Sherwan Hill Adventure Park.[4] The report listed proposed works including expansion of green areas, reforestation, walking trails, access ramps and street lighting.[4]

The report also identified urban growth, pressure on transport and water infrastructure, loss of green space, urban heat, air quality, flooding and landslides as issues affecting Abbottabad.[4] It presented the Shimla Hill Park project as part of wider planning for urban green space in the city.[4]
