The picturesque Hill stations are
popular as resorts among both Indians
and visitors, providing a relaxing
and salubrious retreat from the heat
and dust of the plains. The snow clad
peaks and the cool hill stations on
the foothills of these hills provide
respite from the hustle and bustle
of the city. India has seven principal
mountain ranges and the most important
amongst them are the Himalayas followed
by the Shivaliks, which have the most
popular hill resorts. Shimla, Dalhousie,
Nainital, Mussorie, Panchmarhi. Mount
Abu, and Kodaikanal are some of the
favourite hill resorts of the local
people and the tourists.
