Vote please: Shimla or Varanasi

Our timeline is only going to allow us to visit one or the other city. My travel partner is voting for Shimla and I am leaning towards Varanasi...

What do you think would be the better experience...and why?

Thanks

Have a cup of tea with a red-faced monkey whilst exploring some remnants of the Raj or experience a life meets death melting pot stepped in ancient Indian history. The choice is yours!

In your another thread, you have indicated your plan to visit Delhi-Gwalior-Orcha-Kajuraho-Varanasi. If you are going ahead with this schedule, Varanasi looks to me to be a logical preference over Shimla.
