It's funny how an analogy comes into my head. When traveling to Italy, Rome Fiumicino (Delhi) is way preferable to Milano Malpensa (Mumbai).
I have heard of Shimla in Himachal Pradesh mentioned before. Is this a standard destination for many tourists heading for the Himalayas?
Be especially careful about sunburn in the mountains. The only place I have been sunburnt in India was in the mountains. What do want from the mountains? A relaxed time away from the plains and the crowds, breathtaking views, adventure? The choice will depend on what you want from the mountains.
