Indian Hill Stations

India is the perfect tourist destination when it comes natural beauty. The picturesque Indian hill stations are among top hill stations of world.

Himalayas, the planet's highest mountains, which now abut India in the north and the north-east are filled with river-borne sediment, now forms the Indo-Gangetic Plain.To the west of this plain, and cut off from it by the Aravalli Range, lies the Thar Desert.The original Indian plate now survives as peninsular India, the oldest and geologically most stable part of India, and extending as far north as the Satpura and Vindhya ranges in central India. These parallel ranges run from the Arabian Sea coast in Gujarat in the west to the coal-rich Chota Nagpur Plateau in Jharkhand in the east.To their south, the remaining peninsular landmass, the Deccan Plateau, is flanked on the left and right by the coastal ranges, Western Ghats and Eastern Ghats respectively.

This geographical alignment gives rise to many a hill stations of India.
