hi.. delhi simla route will be better but in july aug its heavy rains and you might come across some land slides because of which you might get stuck at some places so do check raod conditions before traveling. roads are good .

Either route is ok, take your pick. It's the monsoon so be mentally prepared for some delays, e.g, road-blocks, landslides.
