Tourists visiting Himachal Pradesh are facing problems on various fronts these days. Due to lack of basic facilities in resorts, most of the tourists are reportedly retreating. Though Himachal Pradesh government is doing its best to promote tourism in the state and has launched several programmes as well, the overall picture is yet to improve. 

Tourists visiting Shimla however enjoy a pleasant stay compared to another popular tourist destination in the state – Manali.  Tourists in Manali often get stuck for hours due to lack of transportation facilities, the situation is much better in Shimla. Besides this, taxi operators and hotel owners are doing a pretty brisk business by going for exorbitant fares and charges as per a report in Jagaran.

Also it is pointed out that the tariffs mentioned on tourism-websites are a mere eyewash; the tourists often end up shelling out extra-money. Apart from this, tourist guides and taxi operators hardly follow routes, which have been notified and approved by the administration and government. In fact, even eating joints have almost doubled their charges for tourists.
