Hill stations in India

Hill stations in India are naturally cool and scenic towns situated in mountainous regions, primarily developed for respite from the heat of the plains during summer. They offer a pleasant climate, lush landscapes, and serene environments, making them popular tourist destinations. Examples include Shimla, Darjeeling, Ooty, and Manali. Originally chosen by colonial rulers for their favorable climate, these stations now serve as retreats for relaxation, adventure, and enjoying nature's beauty, providing recreational activities like trekking, sightseeing, and local cultural experiences.
