Match-day tips for visitors

1 min read

A few simple tips for a day at the ground: warm clothes, water and checking the weather before you travel.

Planning a visit? A little preparation goes a long way on a hillside ground.

Before you travel

The ground is near Mehli, on the outskirts of Shimla. Check the weather before you leave, and contact the ground office if you are unsure about directions.

What to bring

It gets cold on the hillside after sunset, so carry a warm layer. Wear comfortable sports shoes and bring water.

Booking the ground

Teams who want to play can ask about ground hire on the ground booking page or on WhatsApp.
