Shimla Experience: Fantastic place, very picturesque. Plenty of landscapes, an ideal place for a holiday.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Food is actually fair, could be outstanding if you know the right places. Generally, resorts have a common menu - not something specific to Shimla. If you got to market, you can try out momos which happened to be the best dish we had there. Shimla market is quite astounding. Hattu Mata temple and Kufri are the highlights.

Activities & things to do: Horse riding in Kufri, Bus ride to the Shimla market, Toy train ride to Kalka.

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: From Delhi go to Chandigarh via Volvo bus - then to Shimla again by Volvo.
