SENSUAL...MAJESTIC...OUT OF THIS WORLD! Are there enough words to describe the Hill Resorts of India? At the heights ranging from 600 m above the sea level to 3500 m above the sea level, most of the hill resorts of India are certainly heads and shoulders over other tourist centers. What is most unique about these hill resorts of India is the fact that their existance is confined to India - a contribution of colonial India. Popularly known as Hill Stations in India, these resorts provide welcome break from the daily chorus of life and take us closer to the nature.


The term Hill Station was first coined during Colonial rule when the Europeans started themselves stationing in the hills of Himalayas and Nilgiri to get respite from the heat and dust of plains of the north. They discovered and developed many places that are still popular with the tourists. These small resorts in some way were the replicas of their ancestral homes back in Europe.

After the independence, most of the colonists left theirproperties - mostly cottages and villas built in the colonial styles or sold them to native Indians. Now these hill stations are scene of heavy tourist rush during the summer months. During the winters, high altitude adventure sports keep tourists attracted to these sylvan hill stations in India. Some of the major hill stations in India are Shimla, Manali, Mussoorie, Ooty, Munnar, Dharamsala, Kodaikanal, Dalhousie, and Darjeeling.
