Fly to these Hill Stations this summer and Beat the Summer Heat

India is dotted with the awe-inspiring hills all over the country, starting right up from Jammu and Kashmir to Tamil Nadu, encapsulating over 20 mountain ranges. The hill stations of India are perfect for all purposes, from taking a relaxed break from the hustle and bustle of city life, to exploring the rich cultural heritage of the country.

With its plunging pine-clad valleys and distant mountain views, Dalhousie is a perfect option for making your holiday escapade. It is named after Lord Dalhousie, the British governor-General who established the town as a popular summer retreat. The town is exemplary of neatly planned streets and colonial era architecture of the buildings that are a marvel to witness amidst the lush green surroundings and snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas.

Located in Dalhousie itself is Khajjiar, a small hill town located at 2000 meters above sea level at a short distance from Dalhousie. The town is surrounded by thick covers of deodar and pine trees and the Khajjiar Lake is one of the most amazing and serene picnic spots with the backdrop of the snow-capped Himalayas.

Situated near the Himalayan range, Kufri is a picturesque hill station situated 20 km from Shimla in Himachal Pradesh. The cool and pleasant climate, along with stunning natural beauty, makes Kufri a perfect summer getaway.

Another amazing location is the ever beautiful 'Dharamshala,' located in the scenic valleys of Kangra in Himachal Pradesh. This calm and serene hill station is situated at an average altitude of 1,475 meters above sea level and is surrounded by thick deodar cedar trees, snow-laden mountains, exotic culture, and quaint old monasteries. The presence of the great Tibetan leader Dalai Lama along with other Buddhist nuns & monks and several Tibetan Monasteries has made Dharamshala one of the most popular tourist destinations in India.

Located at an average height of 12,500 feet above sea level, Spiti Valley consists of stark high alpine lands, scattered with small postcard-perfect villages of whitewashed mud-homes and monasteries. Prepare to travel to a world where villages appear like a mirage after miles of trailing a turquoise green river nestled between snow-capped barren mountains and blue lakes; a world which has the coldest winters you’ll ever see, but therein reside the warmest people you will meet.
