One of the proofs that Shimla is overcrowded is that it does not even feel cold there in extreme winters as we managed there with only two layers of clothing. the road seems so constricted because of improperly parked cars. but some tourist attractions stay evergreen such as Kufri. snow falls in Kufri every winter. one can enjoy throwing snow balls at their friends as their is clear snow in Kufri unlike the muddy snow at roadsides. there is also a green valley and an adventure park from Kufri to Shimla.
Green valley has good views whereas adventure park has overpriced adventure sports. cheap accommodations are there in shimla. the Church at mall road is very beautiful and mall road has a shop called monster which has all the weird show pieces in the world. if you visit Shimla you must visit this shop. all in all Shimla is a cheap trip you can make with your friends if you live nearby.
