I think my title would have given you a slight view on how shimla has been turning in the past few years. I travelled there a month back and it was hard time separating hills from houses. The place is getting totally urbanised now. Although the weather and the gorgeous pahadi girls(Yes I mean it:P) of Shimla are to die for, the extremities of houses here are just too much. No problem with hotels, no problem with restaurants. The hills are diminishing slowly slowly here. Good for honeymoons and school trips, definitely not a place for hikers like me.
