Today we took an optional tour, driving in taxis further up into the mountains through the amazing Kufri countryside of Upper Shimla.

We stopped at a viewpoint in the tiny village of Fagu.

We drove on to Wildflower Hall, a luxury hotel constructed on the site of the former summer residence of Lord Kitchener, where we had lunch.

We drove back to Shimla, a hair raising experience. The roads are narrow and winding and very busy. We passed through many villages, none of which have pavements. There were a few near misses but no one was injured!

Tomorrow we travelling back to Delhi, by taxis and train.

I think we will miss Shimla
