Answer 2

The map given by 'Max' leads to another Shimla (near Churu) in the heart of Rajasthan. The route also follows through Pakistan (Gujranwala, Lahore) and Abohar(Indian Punjab); hence is incorrect.

For the route (not 'root') to the famous Shimla, capital of Himachal pradesh is via Pathankot, Hoshiarpur & Una or Chandigarh. Distance might be almost 300km taking not more than 5 hours of driving.
