India having seven main mountain ranges is a haven for mountaineers and trekkers. The Great Himalayan Range in itself houses many hill stations which are a delight for the people especially in North India who visit these places to get relief from the heat and dust of the plains.

Apart from the Great Himalayan Range, India’s landscape is marked with ranges like the Aravallis, the Vindhyas, the Sahyadris, the Nilgiris, the Purvanchal and the Eastern Ghats. These ranges have small hill stations in them and invite the tourists from the hot, dusty plains with open arms.


Many hill stations of India had been developed mainly due to the British’s need to get away from the blistering heat of the plains. Since the summers in India are long, and with the abundance of hills, they developed those areas. As summers approached they retreated to the hills and to make their stay comfortable they developed these areas.
