Ashish, a tourist from New Delhi described his experience in Shimla as a perfect
escape from the national capital's scorching heat. "It was very hot in Delhi.
Currently, the temperature is over 40 degree Celsius. And when we arrived here,
it was a pleasant temperature so, we are feeling very comfortable and very good.
Would suggest more people to come here now and enjoy the cool climate over here,"

rarely crossing 25 degrees during summers, Shimla is a favourite tourist spot
