Advice Needed, HP or Rajasthan in August?

samiam

Unfortunately I will be a proverbial 2 week vacationer (been to inida previously and need to keep family fed).

I was planning to go to shimla/manali duringaugust 9-19 but a friend of mine who lived there for 4 years said the tail end of monsoons will still be there, air travel will be questionable, the roads with this year's rains will be questionable and the low lying clouds will hamper any great views. He said if you don't mid rain, wet clothes and significant dissapointment with delayed travel it should be ok.

He said although rajasthan will be slightly hot it would allow for greater and more reliable travel.

is this true.

which place would you rather go to?


I guess we could return to the Himalayas (tibet, nepal in some form in the future)

grazie.
