Hill Stations in India

India a land so vast and diverse in culture, heritage, language and people is bestowed with an equally rich and vast treasure of natural beauty. The picturesque Hill stations are popular as resorts among both Indian and foreign visitors, providing a relaxing and salubrious retreat from the heat and dust of the plains.

The British must be given credit for developing most of India's hill stations. They did to escape the blistering heat of the long Indian summer. And with seven principal mountain ranges all over the country available to them they had the opportunity to explore each one of them and create their retreat towns, many of which are well maintained and retain their old-world charm.
