If you are staying at a hotel in Shimla, the hotelier will provide you services for the travel. Do make sure that you are not getting your cab arranged by them. The best way is to get a taxi from Taxi stand right at the footstep of Lift. This is union taxi stand (Distance: approx 3 kms from old bus stand). Here the rates are genuine.
Cheat Twist: Usually the hotelier will offer you price of 1200 for whole day trip to Kufri. This is way too high as the taxi will not show you any tourist spot.It will just take you to the foothills of Kufri and from there you will have to go horse back to travel the tourist spots. They will try to lure you with false commitments about their services and all. Do not trust them.
Money Saving Tip:I will suggest just try fetching the cheapest cab to reach the place as the cab driver is not going to show you any tourist attractions.
In the way just ask the cab driver to stop at green valley view point. Here you will find people standing to dress you up and get your snaps done. The cost that they offer is Rs 65 per photo.
The Cheat Twist: The cost of one photo is Rs 65 but once you dress up you will be informed that minimum 5 photos will be clicked. This comes out to be 65 x 5 = Rs 325. If you will bargain they will settle up for 3 pics
Money Saving Tip. Use your own camera and pay for the dress only..They will charge you Rs 50 -100 only.
Must Try: A pic on the yak.
You can even get yourself clicked with a yak at green valley view spot.The guy may ask you anything between 25 to 50 rupees but , the actual bargain price is Rs 20 for unlimited pics from your own camera.
