India is famous for its hill stations, most of them being developed by the Britishers during their rule. These all formed the summer capitals during their rule.

All the hill stations are well linked from the major cities and towns by road, rail and air. Also these have good boarding/lodging facilities with amenities like swimming pools, pool tables, casinos etc.

The picturesque Hill stations are popular as resorts among both Indians and visitors, providing a relaxing and salubrious retreat from the heat and dust of the plains. The snow clad peaks and the cool hill stations on the foothills of these hills provide respite from the hustle and bustle of the city.

India has seven principal mountain ranges and the most important amongst them are the Himalayas followed by the Shivaliks, which have the most popular hill resorts. Shimla, Dalhousie, Nainital, Mussorie, Panchmarhi, Mount Abu, and Kodaikanal are some of the favorite hill resorts of international tourists.
