I would like to visit this place.

Rothney castle was the house of A.O. Hume, who was a political reformer and a very knowledgeable ornithologist.nThis architectural marvel is situated on the Jakhu hills and is very near to the Jakhu temple in Shimla.nThe house boasts of extraordinary sceneries and green landscapes and is one of the major Shimla tourist places.

One of the most historic buildings of Shimla, tucked away on the road to Jakhoo Temple.nnBuilt in early 19th Century it has been home of the AO Hume the founder of Indian National Congress Party. He was also known as father of Indian Ornithology.nnThe property now is in private hands and with restricted access. However one can have look at it from the main gate.nnOn the way to Jakhoo Temple one can have good view from second gate. There one will also find plaque giving history of the building.
