Oct 3 Shimla
I left Dharmsala in the early morning and headed south to Shimla. After a 9-hour drive on steep, winding, foggy roads, with many cows and monkeys along the road I arrived at the Quality Hotel only to find there were no rooms. Shimla, the capital city of Himachal Pradesh, is beautiful, and a hub of tourism, once called the 'summer capital of British India.' This was the Hindu holiday weekend of Dussehra, dedicated to the deity Durga.
After unsuccessful attempts to find another hotel we drove on hoping to find another hotel on the way to Chandigarh. Three hours later at 12 pm midnight we found one, which I affectionately named the 'Shitbox Hotel.'
I awoke 5 am and got ready to move on to Chandighar.

Good one. Nice walking trails lined with majestic deodar and tall pine trees give you a spectacular view of the brilliant Himalayas in Shimla. Check out best hotels in Shimla
