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.
