My granddaughter in Shimla tells me the hotels are full this season, but last year the same ones were empty. I asked the chai-wala near the bus stand—he says the guide licenses are easier to get now, but the real test is whether the monsoon road repairs hold. I remember climbing poles in the rain; if the government doesn't fix the landslides first, no number of tourists will save the small guesthouses.
