Shimla Hill (or Shimla Pahari in the local dialect) is a hill of the Sherwan range extending to the west of Abbottabad, Pakistan. It is not to be confused with Simla / Shimla in Himachal Pradesh, India. The latter place's name derives from the name of the Hindu deity Shyamala Devi, whilst the former is derived from the Hindko (Punjabi) word Shamla or Shumla, that is, the crest of a turban, since the Sherwan range at this point comes up to Abbottabad in the shape of a crest, or ridge.
