Discussing over the place of Shimla with iron-wife over dinner last night, we pretty agreed that no reason to return. Nothing special. Things crumbled. And in your face type of poverty. The propaganda machine really makes this place sounds so wonderful and lovely but in the end, maybe we expected too much from friend's recommendations, from the Vancouver taxi driver telling how beautiful the place was, from Google images and from Shimla tourism website. Nah.... Nothing special. No need to visit. Maybe when the snow covers the garbage littered on the railroad tracks and the hill sides then maybe it's good to see the snow lying hills. But then, it will be too cold and maybe no more flights coming in due to snow. Bare in mind, the runway is short. And I mean short and it is built on a mountain top. Good drop on either end of the runway.
Maybe an Oberoi cruise instead.
