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 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. Towering and as if blessing this land is the
world's youngest and largest East to West mountain chain, known
as the Himalayas Stretching some 2560 Kilometers in an arc
across the top of the Indian subcontinent.
The picturesque Hill stations are popular providing a relaxing
and salubrious retreat from the heat and dust of the plains. Not
only they offer relief from the heat and dust of the plains,
their beautiful green surroundings, solitude, salubrious weather
and spectacular views makes them ideal holiday spots offering
quick relief from the hustle and bustle of city life. India has
seven principal mountain ranges and the most important amongst
them are the Himalayas. Most are well connected by rail and road and offer some beautiful retreats to
stay in.
