While in Chandigarh I was lucky enough to spend a glorious 6 hours in Shimla, a city that's literally built into the folds of the mountains. The British used it as their summer capital in India, as it's significantly cooler than Calcutta or Delhi, so it the slight feeling of an older European city. It's quite touristy at places, but beautiful nonetheless. I took a half hour hike up a mountain to this Hindu temple, and as I was walking the entire mountain became enveloped in a cloud. It's so wonderful to get to spend a day in 70 degrees weather when it's been 100 for a week straight.
Shimla
Some of the many monkeys- they held me up for my candy bar and I was so scared I surrendered. Dangerous creatures.
