Shimla is the beautiful capital city of the picturesque state of Himachal Pradesh. Earlier the summer capital of the British in pre-independence India, mostly due to its pleasing climate and idyllic landscapes, today Shimla retains its old-world charm and elegance. Even though the laidback lifestyle of the past has been replaced by the fast-paced modern lifestyle, there is still lots to love in this little city that makes it the cultural, commercial, and educational epicenter of Himachal Pradesh.
Check importance of two wheeler insurance
The large majority of Shimla's population is in the 16-45 age group. The lower age range is typically one where the majority of people become enamoured by bikes or two-wheelers. Whether it is an entry-level moped costing a few thousand rupees or a high-end adventure bike that costs lakhs, a two-wheeler is one of the most prized possession for people in Shimla. Getting up treacherous mountain trails is easier and far more fun when on a two-wheeler. There's also nothing like a bike to beat the traffic and weave your way safely and quickly to your destination. Also, in times of rising fuel prices, two-wheelers will not make a dent in your pocket.
Today, people in Shimla are not content with just their two-wheelers, however loved they may be. They want something that will help them stand out from the crowd. Earlier, fitting a wide range of fancy accessories on the bike was the craze. Today, it has shifted to VIP or fancy numbers. This is because there's nothing like a VIP number to scream your uniqueness out to the world. This number could be something that is chosen for fun or for a reason. Some of the major reasons that people have for choosing a fancy number is that it corresponds with the date of a special event in their lives. This could be anything from a birthday to an anniversary. Special numbers hold a special place in people's lives also when it is thought to be a lucky number. This could have been ascertained after a numerological or astrological consultation.
VIP numbers are split into different categories with different prices for each category. This has been published on the Himachal Pradesh Department of Transport's website. Here are the VIP numbers and their special registration fee at a glance:
