Shopping in Shimla
I am trying to figure out what to bring and what to buy during my 4-month stay in Shimla. Since the weather in June will be quite different from what it is now, I find it hard to pack every kind of clothes and shoes for all kinds of weather. So, all you Shimla-knowers - what kind of shopping can I expect from this town? Shoes, clothes, medication and so on...
I will leave in three weeks... starting to feel REALLY excited now!!!  |

You can get all the things you mentioned - shoes, clothes, medicines; in Shimla. Shimla will be more expensive than say Delhi, so try to shop in Delhi. I believe you'll be making a few trips to Delhi too, during these four months.
Have a great time !

This may or may not be of interest to you, but you can buy some excellent Kashmiri saffron in Shimla. The shop to visit is "Thakur Bhraata", in the Lower Bazaar.
