5 Things NOT to do in Shimla
1. Being Rude
Himachal People or Pahari People have known for their politeness and kindness. So you better not to be rude to them. Many people tend to think that Pahari People are like a fool and deals with them in the same manner. But I assure you that this is not the case. You should respect the Pahari people and their lifestyle. The lifestyle here is not as cool as you think, people have constantly fought for surviving in life and sometimes weather make this worse. Most of the Himachal Pradesh region is situated in Himalayan Region and weather is constantly changing.
2. Smoking & Drinking
If you are in Shimla or in other parts of Himachal Pradesh, you should definitely avoid smoking and drinking in Public Places. Himachal Government and Himachal Tourism with the help of Himachal Police have declared the Himachal Pradesh is Smoking Free Place. You are not allowed to drink in public places or beside roads. Most of the tourist think that they can drink in their vehicle and drive, but let me tell you one thing, this is Himachal and most of the roads are narrow or beside the river, one wrong move and you are paying the debt to Himalaya with your life.
Safty of you and you're loved one is in your hand, so I request you not to drink while driving and also on Mountain Roads. It is better to be late than never.
3. Use of Polythene
Himachal is the first state to strictly banned the use of polythene, so every visitor is requested not to bring any polythene bags to Himachal Pradesh. Only the Polythene recommended by the Himachal Government can be used here. In general, you should avoid using polythene bags around the world. Now, most of the States in India are polythene free but still, you should avoid the use of polythene in any manner.
4. Don't Litter
Himachal is also one of the clean states of India, so leave it that way. Many tourists here come for a clean environment and fresh air. But if you found the garbage here and there, you will feel horrible and bad. You are requested not to throw your garbage here and there. It is not easy to clean the roads here, so you should put your garbage in the garbage box or dustbin. Our Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi also started a campaign of Swatch Bharat Abhiyan, so try to keep Himachal Clean.
5. Racing & Fighting Locals
This is one of the main things you should not do here. Many people or tourists here think that they can drive here with ease, they are wrong. In Himachal, you are called driver if you know how to brake in time. The roads of Himachal are narrow and their structure is like a snake. For me personally, I am familiar with these roads and knows them best. Many tourists failed to recognize that driving in Himachal require the quick shift in gear and constantly managing between accelerator, clutch & brake.
The other thing in Himachal most people do wrong is FIGHT. Himachal People are known for their kindness so you better not to indulge in the fight with them. Also, people here are more toward conservative side and they didn't accept the radicle change, and if you fight with them than you have to face the consequences in return.
Himachal is known as the Land of God and you are welcome with the open heart. Visit Himachal once in your life and feel the beauty of Himalaya. Be the part of their lifestyle and you will have the experience of life.
