(Situated at 7.041 ft above sea level, surrounded by the Himalayas, Mashobra is a town in the Simla District of Himachal Pradesh in India. During the time of the British Raj, the Viceroys, Lords Kitchener and Ripon, had their summer retreat up in Mashobra. In 1948, prior to his return to England after his term as viceroy, Lord Mountbatten and his wife spent a few weeks in this retreat, and were visited there by the then Indian Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru. The retreat, Wildflower Hall, is now a luxury hotel run by the Oberoi Hotel Group.)
