More than 30,000 vehicles have entered Shimla in the last two days due to three days off, as per the data shown by the HP police.

As the mercury in the plains is getting worse, tourists are rushing to the hill state to enjoy their weekends.

30,000 vehicles have entered Hill state's capital city Shimla during the past two days and on the weekend (Saturday and Sunday), the police are expecting that the number can increase by approx. 5,000 in the coming days.

The hotels are at their full capacity in the city but tourists are happy with the pleasant weather conditions in Shimla.

"We arrived here at around 2 am but did not get any room to stay, finally we were able to explore and get a hotel by 6 am, and here tourists have rushed due to the three days long holiday. Hotels are full.

We had to move around for 10-12 kilometers here in search of the room." said Sanjeet, a tourist from Punjab.

The tourists are coming to Shimla from Delhi, Punjab, Chandigarh, Haryana, and other parts of India as well.

"We arrived yesterday. I came here for the first time, Shimla is overcrowded, like Delhi and neighboring states.

The weather is very soothing here. We are enjoying ourselves a lot here. I am happy to be here. The tourist rush is troublesome as we were not able to find a hotel, after long and hard efforts we were able to find a space to stay," said Pooja, a tourist from Delhi.

Tourists who are coming for a longer stay are enjoying the beauty of Hills in the Himalayan region.
