Coorg is a beautiful destination sure to
be visited any time of the year. This place has beautiful plantation
crops filled with exotic aroma of spices. The landscapes just
make a memorable impression to remember. The winding and steep
pathways that leads to other nearby destinations, make us feel
to be lost in the lush green Ghats.

Delightful. Loved the chill
weather... Clean, crisp mountain air - natural air-conditioning.
We enjoyed the best of the off-season minus the hordes.

This picturesque hill station,
also known as the Queen of Maharashtra's hill stations, is
located in the Western Ghats, cradled in the Sahyadri ranges.
An altitude of 1,372 m gives it the distinction of being the
highest hill station in Western India. Its popularity is not
only as a honeymoon spot and a great summer getaway, but also
because of its historical and religious significance.

such a beautiful heaven.
Darshan, Baroda
A hilly retreat established
by American missionaries around 1845 in order to escape from
the high temperatures of the plains, Kodaikanal, or Kodai
as it's better known, is a quiet hill station at an altitude
of 2,195 m, on the southern ridge of the Palani hills in Tamil
Nadu. It is popular amongst the locals as well as other tourists
and has earned the nickname of Princess of Hill Stations.
It is the serenity
and tranquility and greenery and the weather that make kodai
so special, so it can be best enjoyed if you stay for four
to five days; relax, let go of all your steam and come back
refreshed.
