Day 32: Chandigarh to Shimla

This famous Shimla landmark has been extensively and, I should imagine, expensively, restored.
The room is lovely and, as darkness falls, I just want to throw open the balcony doors and taste the freshest air since we left the mountain valleys of the Karakoram.
As soon as I do so my telephone rings and I'm politely but firmly requested not to, as monkeys will get into my room. Monkeys are a big problem, they assure me. Big enough to install sensors in my tall, tempting balcony doors to sound an alarm whenever I open them.
