Shimla in late July - what about the monsoons?

My husband and I are heading to Delhi for a friend%26#39;s wedding in late July and would like to go to Shimla afterwards to get away from the heat. But I don%26#39;t know what the Hill stations are like during monsoon season - will we be trapped inside all day? Will we be able to do the regular hikes and visit things like the Rohtang Pass?

My other thought is to head to Rajastan (figure how wet can it get in the desert?), but Shimla is my first choice since I traveled to Rajastan last time I was in India and would like to see somewhere new.

Thanks for any help.
